Dr. Mansbridge, probably more than any man of his time, has initiated popular cultural movements which from small beginnings have developed into national institutions, particularly the Workers' Educational Association, the National Central Library, and the Seafarers' Education Service. In all the manifold activities of a full life, in social and church work, in business or domestic life, he has 'passed along a gallery of his fellows' of all kinds and classes, workmen, scholars, ecclesiastics, business men, statesmen, kings, and commoners. So, in this Gallery of England 1876- 1946, a cross section of life, work, and thought is revealed. Part 1 takes the reader through the Gallery in successive stages of the author's life, encountering many men and women, known and unknown, whose names call for a long index; Part II gives 'close-up' pictures of fifteen outstanding figures, in which an archbishop, a manufacturer or a workman, a governor-general or a schoolmaster, may be seen from a personal angle; and the book closes with an Epilogue in which the author faces the future in his own inspiring way.
