London’s Guilt and Woe.

Now, as a matter of fact, no English writer conversant with the subject has dared to tell a plain, unvarnished tale of London's guilt and woe. There are many of us who have seen with our own I eyes, and heard with our own ears, I things that are so revolting that we can ■ only hint at them in vague and hesitating language. Were I even, now that public attention has been thoroughly aroused to a great danger, to go into the details of ordinary life in a London ( slum, the story would be one which no journal enjoying a general circulation could possibly print.— G. R. Sims, in London Daily News. It is not death, it is dying, that alarms ones— Montaigne.
