Abstract
The Reverend Henry Solly (1815-1903) was an English social reformer of the Victorian period whose work deserves more recognition than it has received so far. In 1862, he founded the Working Men's Club Institute Union, which has now grown into an organization with more than 2 million members throughout Great Britain. He also helped to found the Charity Organisation Society, which has made a unique contribution to the theory and practice of modern social work, while in 1884, at the age of seventy-one, he devised a scheme of industrial villages which anticipated by several decades the movement which produced the garden cities of the twentieth century.
