Excerpt from The History, Design, and Present State of the Religious, Benevolent and Charitable Institutions, Founded by the British in Calcutta and Its Vicinity To those who may be disposed to criticize my Book with severity, I will say, that I have employed my best endeavours to be accurateand impartial, without compromising my own opi. Nions, and that it has cost me much labor. My time, moreover, was very little at my own dis posal, and this work has, for several months past, fully occupied every hour which [could spare from an Office of considerable detail, and of much personal communication. It was impor tant, also, to complete the work before the time when the Annual Periodical Reports of the dif ferent Associations should appear, which would furnish new matter not. To have been dispensed with, and might have protracted the publication of the work for another year, if not, put a stop to it altogether. As it is, I have been occasion ally anticipated by the appearance of detached accounts of some of the subjects which the work comprehends. These considerations will per haps be allowed to plead with the candid reader for any marks of haste or other faults, either of arrangement or composition which, may be dis cernable in these pages.

Excerpt from The Charities of San Francisco: A Directory of the Benevolent and Correctional Agencies, Together With a Digest of Those Laws Most Directly Affecting Their Work This seems like an enormous charity bill for a city so young as San Francisco, and whose entire population numbers scarcely The city of Baltimore, with more in habitants, expended in 1892 about less]: While not much value is to be placed upon this comparison, since the figures for Baltimore are an estimate based upon a partial can vass, and it is not likely that the cost of caring for dependents in institutions outside of the city are included. And while some allowance is to be made for the greater demands upon all charitable institutions in the latter part of 1893, still, the cost of relieving the poor in San Francisco is undoubtedly more in proportion than in any other young and prosperous city. I want everyone who consults this little book to appreciate with me the sympathy and helpfulness Of Mr. And Mrs. P. L. Weaver, Superintendent and matron of the City and County Almshouse; the many kindnesses of Mr. J. G. Chown of the Christian Union Mission; the hearty co-operation of Father Montgomery (now Bishop Montgomery) without whose aid I would not have been able to include the Catholic Charities; and especially the generosity of Mr. Timothy Hopkins, through whose assistance this work is given to the public.
