Charles Kingsley (1819-75) is best remembered today as the author of the children's morality tale The Water Babies.

In Volume 2, Fanny Kingsley gives passionate support to her husband in the notorious controversy with J. H. Newman, provoked by an article in Macmillan's Magazine.

In summing up his life, his wife writes, 'Many of his dreams - social, sanitary, and others - improbable as they seemed at the time, have been realised ...'.
