A second edition was published the same year. Criticises William Booth founder of the Salvation Army whose book 'In Darkest England and the Way Out' became a best seller. Huxley felt Booth's schemes were too socialistic. "Mr. Booth's system appears to me and- as I have shown is regarded by Socialists themselves to be mere autocratic Socialism masked by its theological exterior.The most degrading feature of the narrower forms of Christianity of which that professed by Mr. Booth is a notable example is their insistance that the noblest virtues if displayed by those who reject their pitiable formula are as their pet phrase goes "splendid sins."
