Review Of Literature, &C.
ledged standing , Mr . Stevens has handled his subject with his usual tact , and made clear to the provinces the unquestionable advantages of wood paving-. The following extract from the pamphlet itself deserves to be quoted for the soundness of its reasoning : — " Who can calculate the extent to which this manifest improvement will be carried in every city and town in England ? AVhat community is there , in these of
days rapid advancement , that would submit to follow ' far in the rear of others of equal numbers or importance ? And , even if the cost ' of this wood paving were as much more , ' its I am sure experience will prove it to be less than that of stone , who would deprive his fellow-citizen , townsman , or neighbour of a comfort scarcely appreciable to those who have not witnessed the change ? " What is found to be so beneficial in London and other places , must be proportionablso in alland it is to the interest of class of residents
y ; every to press the introduction of wood-paving upon the consideration of their respective local authorities ; as it is the bouiidei ! duty of the latter to examine the subject under the influence of the most favourable feelings . And above all , not to permit any petty individual interest to interfere with so large a measure of public benefit . "
