Socialism: "Dear old England" up-to-date

Socialism: "Dear old England" up-to-date is one of a series of leaflets printed in 1904 by the Lyttelton Times Company, which first published them as a series of articles.  It was written by socialist minister Reverend James O'Bryen Hoare, who writes of an unequal division in England as a warning to New Zealand.

Hoare served as minister of St John the Baptist Anglican church which stood in Latimer Square, Christchurch (1865) and later at St Paul's, Papanui (1882).  He later left the Church of England to form his own Free Church.
