_A Morality (adapted from the "Merchant of Venice") for Men in
Municipal Authority._
["The music on the Embankment during the pressman's
dinner-hour is a much more important matter than it seems to
be. It would be a most beneficial institution for all indoor
labourers; for it is not the long hours of labour--though
they are bad enough--so much as its monotony that makes it so
wearisome."--_Mr. James Payn in "Our Note Book."_]
