"[...] General Booth's scheme of social salvation is before the world in the form of a book. Let us examine the prophecy of this would-be Moses of the serfs of poverty and degradation. An ordinary author would sign himself "William Booth," but this one is "General" even on a title-page. In Darkest England is an obvious plagiarism on Stanley, and The Way Out is suggested by his long travel through the awful Central African forest. In the preface General Booth acknowledges the "valuable literary help" of a "friend of the poor, who, [...]."

In 'Salvation Syrup; Or, Light On Darkest England' by G. W. Foote, the reader is taken on a journey through the often harsh realities of 19th-century England, shedding light on the darker aspects of society. The book utilizes a satirical and critical tone to address social issues such as poverty, inequality, and the oppressive nature of organized religion. Foote's writing style is sharp, witty, and unapologetically honest, providing a unique perspective on the time period. This work can be considered a social commentary that challenges the status quo and calls for reform. It is a thought-provoking read that offers valuable insights into the complexities of Victorian society. G. W. Foote, a prominent freethinker and journalist, was known for his radical views and outspoken criticism of religious and societal norms. His experiences and beliefs likely fueled his passion for writing 'Salvation Syrup; Or, Light On Darkest England', as he sought to expose the flaws and hypocrisies of his time. Foote's fearless approach to addressing taboo subjects made him a controversial figure in literary circles. I highly recommend 'Salvation Syrup; Or, Light On Darkest England' to readers interested in exploring the social and political landscape of Victorian England through a critical lens. Foote's sharp wit and insightful commentary make this book a valuable addition to any collection on 19th-century literature and social history.

Twenty years ago the Hallelujah Band spread itself far and wide, but soon spent itself like a straw fire. Then arose the Salvation Army, doing the same kind of work, and indulging in the same vagaries. These were imitations of the antics of the cruder forms of Methodism. Even the all-night meetings of the Whitechapel Salvationists, ten years ago, were faint copies of earlier Methodist gatherings, especially of those in Cornwall, which were described by the Rev. Richard Polwhele. “At. St. Agnes,” said this writer, “the Society stays up the whole night, when girls of twelve and fourteen years of age ran about the streets, calling out that they are possessed.” At Probus “the preacher at a late hour of the night, after all but the higher classes left the room, would order the candles to be put out, and the saints fall down and kneel on their naked knees; when he would go round and thrust his hand under every knee to feel if it were bare.” The Salvationists never went so far as this. Freaks of such description are left, in this age, to the followers of King Solomon in the Brighton Glory Hole. But a friend of ours, who visited an all-night Salvation meeting at Whitechapel in 1882, told us that the light was very dim, the voices were low, cheeks came perilously close in prayer, and at one moment the proceedings threatened to develope into a thoroughgoing love-feast.

The Salvation Army is nowadays viewed with fondness, but William Booth's evangelical crusade of the 1880s and early 1890s sparked violent riots led by an opposition group, the Skeleton Army. These riots caused destruction to property, injury to many people and, on occasion, loss of life. Spreading across the South and West of England, the Skeleton Army's aim was to eject Salvationists from their towns. Rather than facing repercussions themselves, however, it was often the peaceful parading Salvationists who were imprisoned. In With God on Their Side, James Gardner follows the spread of violence in the context of the popular conservatism of late-Victorian England, with close study of particular towns creating a rich tapestry of historical narrative that will be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts alike. The motives and actions of both groups are considered, along with the subsequent shift in the Salvation Army's focus towards social welfare. It is this shift that enabled the organisation to grow into the treasured charity we know today, and helped transform William Booth from one of the most vilified men of the nineteenth century into its saint.
