Frederick St. George de Lautour Booth-Tucker, OF (March 21, 1853 - July 17, 1929) was a senior Salvation Army officer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the son in law of General William Booth, the Army's Founder. He wrote a number of poems and songs, and while in the United States compiled a collection of One Hundred Favourite Songs of The Salvation Army (1899). In 1893 he became the first editor of The Officer magazine, and wrote several books, including a Life of Catherine Booth (1892); The Consul (1903), and Muktifauj (1923), the story of the first forty years of The Salvation Army in India and Ceylon.
In this book the author lays bare the desperate conditions proliferating throughout the India at the end of the 19th century. The author gives a revealing look at poverty, and some of the other problems that abounded in the cities. He proposes some interesting changes towards the end of the book.

In the cities the overcrowding has become so excessive, and the accomodation available for the poor is so inadequate, costly and squalid, as to almost beggar description. Considerations of decency, comfort and health are largely thrown to the winds. A single unfurnished room, merely divided from the next one by a thin boarding, through which everything can be heard, will command from five to thirty rupees a month, and even more, according to its position, in Bombay.
