Excerpt from Recollections of Workhouse Visiting and Management: During Twenty-Five Years This, therefore, rather than any wish for self assertion, has been at least one of the motives which has led to this record of a progress, to which I alone, in some respects, have the clue. But besides this, I have had another motive and hope, which I trust may not be delusive, viz. That the story of this twenty-five years' work may be of help and service to some of my younger sisters who are now pursuing the same path, perhaps with the same desire which prompted me from the very firstlday when I entered upon it, viz. To help to right what I considered a great wrong - in a word, to deliver the outcast and poor, and him that hath no helper.
