on The Greatest of sll Cities, A buge city like this of ours, with such boundless possibilities before it for good or for ill, on the one hand perpetually becoming more unmana geable and more exhausting to |iife; on the other hand, coutinaally | show. ing unexpected sigus of viwality and hope—such a city stands at the part: ing of the ways. It is already by far the most inorganic mass of habitations that ever cumbered the planet, and ‘0 the bulk of its population, though vot to the fortunate minority, it is, ales | by far the most depressing. Aud yet, evenfluow it is the most healthiest of oll capitals ; and in certain aspects of a city one of best ordered ; to a very fow, cue of the pleassntest. Which is to prevail in the furare—the bound: leas evil or she boundless good 7 Take the first, the darker side Here is the bogest assemblage of buildings ever piled by men on ove spot of the earth. For three centu: ries one of the greatest fears of think: ing mea bas been the enormous growth of Loadon : snd yet, uatil about one hundred years ago, neither its population or area’ were what we should eall abnormal. But since the last bundaed years it has advanced by leaps and bounds, iecrasing its population fourfold within this cen- tury aod its area ten or fifieenfold. Even in my own lifetime the ares of London bas increased at least fivefold sud its populaiion betwen two snd threefold. So thas we have a contia- uous population of some four millions, pecked in an area not far off 100 square miles, with nearly 2,000 miles of streets bardly anywhere less than ten or eleven miles in a strait line. And where is it going to stop? Every year 70,000 souls, roughly | speaking, are added by immigration | and births; every year more square | | vit; shall contain full statements of the several mat. | £ 15h | Year | miles are added to the area. by year some 20,000 immigrants press iato this city ; that is the population of a fair country town, #0 that every ten years ther is added to London by | immigration lone a city as large’ as Bristol and Lisbon ; snd by the en- | tire series of causes a new city as large St. Petersburg or Viena. And thus | alveady, in this corner of the Thames, | there is hudded together about one sixth of the entire population of Eng- | land, **Where is it to stop 7’ we ask | as the tide of immigrants pours in and great armies of bailders are perpeto- ally laying fresh acres of medow un- der brick. Size and numbers are not necessari- ly bad thing<per se. But unhappily | the size aad number of London have | alarming consequence of their own. Grat cities have to grow organically, ] with some kind of sell adaptation to | increase | their development. Bat the of London defies adaptation and ad- justment. The 70,000 new souls a year arrive before Landon has time t) consider what she can do with them. The bricks pour down in ir- regular heaps, almost as if, some cat- aclysm or tornado, it were raining bricks out of heaven on the esrth be low. The huge pall of smoke got denser and wore sulpburouvs, stretch. ing out, they say some twenty miles into the country, till Berkshire, Backs, Hertssud Kent are begging to be luted by its cloud. From Charing ross of the Royal Exchange a mas bas to walk some five or six miles be fore he ean see the blessed meadows or breathe the country air. Few of us ever saw more than half of the city we live in, snd some of us never saw nine-tenths of it. We all live more or less in soot and fog, in smoky, dosty, contaminated air, io which trees will no longer grow to full size and the sul. phurous of which eats away the sarface of stone. The beautiful river udd prot Fotos bid, m oe o use; at times indescribably psily and un- wholesome: The water we drink is onotinually polluted with drainage, and at times comes perilously near to being injurious to health. Our bury. ing places, old and new, aren perpet. o. soxiety and danger. Our sewers pour forth 5.500.000 tons of sewerage per week, almost all of it waswdully and dangerously discharged. An immense proportion of our working population are insufficiently housed in cheerless , comfortiess and even un- healthy lodgings. Not a few of these are miserable dens or squalid cabins unfit for buman dwelling place, Every few yesrs some epidemic breaks out which carries off its thousands.
