Synopsis
Excerpt from Work About the Five Dials
The visitor must above all things have tact and sympathy to enter into the feelings of the poor; he must have a ready judgment to inspire those he visits with confidence and hope; and he must have perseverance to follow up a case when he begins it; never tiring, and if he finds that one way fails, he must try over and over again. The experience, it is said, of one person is almost always wasted on others; but yet it may help some who are contemplating work amongst the London poor to know the steps by which another has learned to visit them.
