Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 350 Seiten, L=152mm, B=229mm, H=20mm, Gew.=513gr, Kartoniert/Broschiert, Klappentext: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ART. IV.?DEMANDS AND DIFFICULTIES OF SPECIAL LEGISLATION. 1.

An Act to abate the Nuisance arising from the Smoke of Furnaces in the Metropolis, and from Steam Vessels above London Bridge, 1853. A Desire, at once sincere and honourable, has long prevailed within the walls of Parliament to mitigate annoyances and promote usefulness. It would be idle to deny or doubt the advance of benevolent sentiments. From the ragged school to the convict ward of Chancery', from the chimney sweeper to the chiefest mechanic, from the weakest of our countrymen to the most robust, from the strictest Sabbatarian to the least observant disciple, from the traveller by cheapest rail or poor passenger by sea to the man at case whether lie journey by land or water, whatever the grade may be, whatever the desired improvement or inconvenience to be lessened, it is certain that few pains are spared to forward the general welfare within the broadest circle. To prove the universality and integrity of these good wishes, we need only refer to the debates in the Senate and the columns of the Statute-book. The "golden days" of the past, "fruitful of golden deeds," would seem to promise a near approach. To recount the varied instances of these efforts towards improvement would be an inexhaustible and needless task. If we consider the public health, a host of Boards and Commissions present themselves to our view. The fancied errors of one system are rapidly submitted for amendment to a new arrangement. No one who remembers our metropolis some thirty years since can fail to contrast its present quietude with the din and tumult of days gone by. Even the smoke, so long domiciled in the great city, is threatened by the suicida...<
