Note 11 — TO THE RATEPAYERS OF ST. MARYLEBONE.
Reading edition
The City of London, the wealthiest in the world, but not the best governed, is destitute of a Public Library. The babblement of Sidney the vain, which in 1855 triumphed, now ceases to amuse and the shrill screams of the Peacock are no longer heard. If you wait for a scheme that will please the Peacocks and the Sidneys, you will never do anything at all.
