This study is the first treatment devoted to Sir Arthur Helps (1813–1875), who was a prominent figure in the mid-Victorian world. Readers will discover that from the 1840s until his death, Helps was influential and well-known to many key figures: Carlyle, Ruskin, Froude and the Queen were among those whom he befriended. In fact, it was almost certainly these relationships which Helps sought to protect by directing that the bulk of his private papers and correspondence be destroyed upon his death. Making use of extensive primary and secondary sources, this book begins the process of recovering this once eminent Victorian. Helps did become a forgotten figure, but, nevertheless, during the course of his career he made notable impacts upon many areas of British life. At once a social activist and literary figure, Helps labored to promote social reform while also lifting his pen to educate his readers about the complexity of both societal problems and the difficulties inherent in adequately addressing them. He looked well beyond Britain as well: it would be Helps who authored a four volume history of the Spanish conquest of the New World, while developing unrivaled expertise on the history and practice of slavery in the Americas. As Clerk of the Privy Council, Helps played a decisive role in addressing the problems caused by the ‘Cattle Plague’ which shocked Britain in the middle of the 1860s. Most important, perhaps, it would be as Clerk that Helps served Queen Victoria not only as an informal confidant, but by making decisions which refashioned the monarchy’s public image. The book, then, reintroduces Helps by documenting and assessing his contributions to Victorian Britain.

Excerpt from Correspondence of Sir Arthur Helps K. C. B., D. C. L In looking through my father's voluminous correspondence some years ago, I found so many letters of interest, that I determined to make a volume of them for private circulation. Various circumstances, however, prevented me from doing this, and I left them untouched for a long time. On taking them up again it seemed to me a pity to condemn them to oblivion, for they throw light upon one who in his generation had considerable influence, which was always used for the benefit of his fellow-creatures, and who played a not insignificant part in the Victorian era. Also I think the letters will enable those of this rising generation, to whom Arthur Helps is a mere name, to understand the purpose of all his writings, whilst to those of his contemporaries and friends who remain - alas, but few - they would bring him to mind and renew old associations. The collection, which covers a period from 1829-75, is one chiefly of letters bearing upon current politics and literature. It is, however, far from being a full and complete synopsis of my father's voluminous correspondence. There are gaps of many months, and even years, during which I am unable to chronicle any correspondence. This is due to several causes.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
