Regeneration (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 
Being an Account of the Social Work of the Salvation Army in Great Britain

Haggard was commissioned to write this 1910 work by his friend William Booth, the founder and first general of the Salvation Army.  Haggard took the assignment seriously, traveling throughout England to gather first-hand observations of the Salvation Army in action; describing such institutions as shelters, free breakfast services, women’s and men’s social work, hospitals, and the anti-suicide bureau.
