Children of the Second Spring: Father James Nugent and the Work of Childcare in Liverpool

Father Nugent founded many institutions for the poor and the needy in his native town of Liverpool and was instrumental in the scheme to take orphaned children to the New World to find a new home. Much of what he pioneered in his own town still survives. An invaluable book into the energy and vision of those who breathed deeply the new freshness of what John Henry Cardinal Newman call the “Second Spring”.
