It explores his contributions, particularly in the advancement of hygiene and sanitation, and reflects on his impact on the welfare of the poor and vulnerable populations. At the start of the memoir, the author shares intimate recollections of her grandfather, painting a poignant picture of their relationship during her childhood. Gertrude recalls her early memories of him working diligently in his study, driven by a sense of purpose and a desire to address public health issues such as the sanitation crisis in London and the dreadful conditions faced by children in factories and mines.
