Book Overview

""Among The Masses: Or Work In The Wynds"" is a book written by Dugald Maccoll and published in 1867. The book is a memoir of Maccoll's experiences working as a missionary in the slums of Glasgow, Scotland during the mid-19th century. The term ""wynds"" refers to the narrow alleys and lanes that were common in the slums of Glasgow at that time. In the book, Maccoll describes the poverty, disease, and social problems that he encountered while working among the poor. He also discusses the various religious and charitable organizations that were active in the slums, and the challenges they faced in trying to improve the lives of the people living there. Maccoll's writing is characterized by a strong sense of social justice and a deep concern for the plight of the poor. He is critical of the government and the church for their failure to address the social problems of the time, and he advocates for greater action and reform. Overall, ""Among The Masses: Or Work In The Wynds"" provides a vivid and compelling portrait of life in the slums of Glasgow during the mid-19th century, and offers valuable insights into the social, religious, and political issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
