Excerpt from London Topographical Record: Illustrated; Including the Fourth Annual Report of the London Topographical Society

I think I am justified in grumbling very much with the accents of the mover of the first Resolution, though not with the exact result he had in view. He uttered a prolonged lamentation that the Council of this Society had not done more or aimed at more in the past year, and, with the high ambition of an active student of London matters, he pro ceeded to develop the work which might be achieved by the Council in a manner extremely inspiring to those who listened to him. But I think he was too hard upon the Council, because it has evidently had in its deliberations the homely proverb of cutting your coat according to your cloth, and it is quite Obvious that if the public do not pro vide enough cloth to make a waistcoat, you cannot aim at rigging yourself out in a coronation robe.
