Excerpt from The Housing Problem in England: Its Statistics, Legislation and Policy The essay does not profess to be complete. It has been written in fragments as the too brief intervals of a busy life have given Opportunity. In many places, lack of time for further investigation has compelled my treatment to be merely suggestive in nature. Still, I feel that in so far as the book constrains its reader to view the housing problem of England from a broader standpoint than is customary, the time spent upon its preparation will be more than repaid. It may be my good fortune at some time in the future, when leisure is more abundant, to amplify and strengthen both the statements of fact and the arguments advanced in the present volume.
