Excerpt from Municipal London, or London Government as It Is, and London Under a Municipal Council To the second part of the work are prefixed three chapters, containing a history of attempted Municipal Reform, and a discussion of the various schemes that have been proposed. These chapters will serve a useful purpose in illustrating the different methods by which the interested City Corporation has succeeded in shelving the ques tion, and they will enable future Municipal Re formers to steer clear of the rocks on which former measures have been wrecked. A system whereby the whole Metropolis may be governed by a Supreme Representative Council, is elaborated in the later chapters of the book. For this part of the work the Author claims only such credit as may be due to practical suggestions, based upon well-considered principles of Municipal Government.
