Charles Kingsley was an English clergyman and novelist. He was the founding member of the Christian Socialist movement and was known for his controversy with Cardinal Newman. He was a chaplain to Queen Victoria, a rector at Eversley, Hampshire and was sympathetic to the Chartists. Found in this book is the novel Two Years Ago, a story of three men who compare notes as to the events of two years ago; and each supplying the other with new facts, which are duly set forth in this tale, saving, and excepting, of course, the real reason why everybody did everything.
