A Letter on London Streets and City Cleanness
A correspondent laments dirty streets and poor pavement in London, contrasts Dutch neatness, praises Whitehall and Charing Cross architecture yet criticizes dirt. He urges stricter scavenger duties and lamp regulation, cites lamp-lighting as a civic pride, and argues for reform via Parliament. The letter ends with a defiant defense of loyalty to the nation.
