Note 16 — ERNEST ALFRED VIZETELLY (continued 5)

"For more than a week, until 'The Daily Telegraph' took the matter in hand, the sale of 'The Maiden Tribute' converted London into a pandemonium. None who lived in the vicinity of the Strand at that time will forget the shouting of the vendors of the obscenity—often children only twelve years of age."—George Moore, on the "New Censorship of Literature," in "The New York Herald," London edition, July 28, 1889.
