+PREFACE.
+
+
+THE main object sought to be attained in this correspondence was to
+induce the Government to purchase two plots of land adjoining Primrose
+Hill Park, together about eighteen acres, that space may be given to a
+great and rapidly-increasing population for football and cricket. It is
+probable most persons who know the wants of the district will be of
+opinion that it is very desirable this should be done. Every summer’s
+evening there is, in the small space of ground now available in the
+Regent’s Park, over-crowding and a badly made game. Many who wish to
+play cannot for want of room, and two fine boys, about fourteen years of
+age, complained that they were frequently hit, and the balls crossed each
+other so closely that they did not know their own ball. But another
+proposal was incidentally mentioned, upon which there cannot be the same
+unanimity. It is suggested that a road should be made from the top of
+Portland Place for equestrians, carriages, and cabs through the Regent’s
+Park, and then to some part of Hampstead Heath. If any one considering
+this question will stand at the top of Portland Place and imagine the
+same carried on straight through the park, and then, as far as now can be
+done, a park-like road made to the Heath, and reflect how charming and
+healthy such a drive and ride must be, with the bracing air and beautiful
+views on all sides, easy and pleasant of access, he, perhaps, may think
+the scheme worthy of very careful investigation.
+
+Those who are acquainted with Paris know the extraordinary change for the
+better effected when a new and direct road was carried from the Arc de
+L’Etoile to the Bois de Boulogne, and it is to be presumed that
+improvements will, without loss of time, be made in Hampstead Heath, and,
+as in the Bois de Boulogne, suitable rides and drives created. The
+natural advantages of the situation are in favour of London as compared
+with Paris, and it is not too much to say, if proper use is made of them,
+that, as a whole, Regent’s Park, Primrose Hill Park, and Hampstead Heath
+will, for all the purposes that parks are formed, be unsurpassed in
+Europe.
+
+But to open the park at Portland Place may require an Act of Parliament,
+and many may think the Regent’s Park is best as it is; nevertheless, the
+extreme beauty of a road through the centre of the Regent’s Park, in
+addition to being so much nearer, ought to be a consideration. It will
+shorten the drive to Primrose Hill going and returning, over the present
+route, nearly a mile; but should this not be deemed sufficient reason for
+the change, then it may be desirable to make a carriage bridge over the
+canal instead of the present foot bridge at the end of the Broad Walk,
+opening into the Albert Road at St. Mark’s Church and close by Primrose
+Hill.
+
+Should public opinion approve this scheme there is no reason to suppose
+the Government will offer any opposition to it.

+
+
+LETTERS.
+
+
+ The Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P.,
+ &c., &c.
+
+SIR,
+
+Knowing the great and arduous duties you have to perform I regret being
+obliged to call your attention to a very small affair, but the case is
+urgent, and in a few months buildings will be placed upon a portion of
+the ground.
+
+Primrose Hill Park is very much used by boys as a cricket or foot-ball
+ground, and on Saturdays there is not enough space. Even to-day, with
+the ground wet and weather not inviting, it was full, and in the summer
+months boys go away because there is not room to play.
+
+It may, therefore, be worthy of your consideration whether the Government
+should not purchase the Eton and Middlesex Cricket Ground, which adjoins,
+and consists of about twelve acres. This is a private ground, and, I
+believe, does not pay. There is another plot of about six acres which
+will be immediately built upon unless the Government at once secure it.
+
+This would make a splendid addition to the park, and, perhaps, £20,000
+would purchase the whole.
+
+I have the honour to be, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient servant,
+ WILLIAM RAY SMEE.
+
+Regent’s Park North,
+ 5_th_ _April_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ WILLIAM RAY SMEE, Esq.,
+
+SIR,
+
+Mr. Gladstone desires me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
+6th instant.
+
+I am, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient Servant,
+ J. A. GODLEY.
+
+10, Downing Street, Whitehall,
+ 8_th_ _April_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P.,
+ &c., &c.
+
+SIR,
+
+I am obliged to trouble you again respecting the purchase by the
+Government of about eighteen acres of land adjoining Primrose Hill Park,
+for upon a portion of it the turf is now being rapidly taken away, and
+the land is to be built upon unless something is at once decided.
+
+There is a necessity for adding this ground to the Park. The population
+is rapidly increasing. Every small open space is closed. Boys and
+youths who cannot afford to pay have no place for cricket except on
+public property. On Saturdays, the young of more than half a million of
+people come to Primrose Hill, or would come if there were space. This
+afternoon there were between 2,000 and 3,000, and if the day had been
+finer there would have been many more.
+
+I showed to a gentleman well conversant with the district the ground I
+thought ought to be purchased, and he assured me in five years’ time,
+with the addition, space would be wanting, and strongly urged the
+publication of the suggestion. That, however, I am very unwilling to do
+so long as there is a prospect of the Government acting in this business,
+and I therefore venture respectfully to ask your decision.
+
+Assume that the cost will be £20,000, it is only part of the interest on
+that amount the Government can lose. The State is equally rich whether
+the property is in money or land. The eighteen acres will make excellent
+sheep land, and must yield something, and the strength and health given
+to many thousand youths must speedily add to the national revenue far
+more than the remainder.
+
+The financial side of the question is really quite insignificant, but the
+moral good done will be of the highest importance.
+
+I have the honour to be, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient Servant,
+ WILLIAM RAY SMEE.
+
+Regent’s Park North,
+ 26_th_ _April_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+Before this letter was answered the following was sent:—
+
+Mr. WILLIAM RAY SMEE presents his respects to Mr. Gladstone, and, in
+reference to his communication of Saturday, wishes to say, as showing the
+importance of taking into consideration the rapid increase of population;
+that some years ago, when there was a field walk, but little frequented
+on weekdays, from Primrose Hill to Hampstead, he proposed to Lord
+Palmerston to purchase sufficient ground and make a road from the top of
+Portland Place, through Regent’s Park, and round Primrose Hill straight
+to Hampstead Heath.
+
+This road along its whole length was to have been Park-like, to be used
+by carriages, cabs, and persons on horseback, would have added to the
+beauty of the West of London, and if the Government had thought it
+desirable, might have been made to repay its cost by the surplus land
+between Primrose Hill and Hampstead that might have been sold for villas.
+
+Such a road was much wanted, and private enterprise has already made
+two-thirds of it, and placed houses on both sides. Nevertheless it is
+altogether different from what the State would have done. It is neither
+broad nor straight. It does not add to, but takes from the beauty of the
+neighbourhood. In the meantime Hampstead Heath has become public
+property, and the opportunity to make a direct approach thereto from
+Regent Street in a way, which foreign visitors to London would have
+greatly admired, is permanently lost.
+
+Mr. Smee mentions this, as it may still be worthy of consideration,
+whether Regent’s Park might not be opened at Portland Place, and whether
+anything can now be accomplished in the unmade portion of the road
+between Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath.
+
+ To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.,
+ &c., &c.,
+
+Regent’s Park North,
+ 2_nd_ _May_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+On the 6th May the letter of the 26th April was acknowledged:—
+
+ To WILLIAM RAY SMEE, ESQ.,
+
+SIR,
+
+Mr. Gladstone desires me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
+2nd instant, on a matter which seems to belong to the province of the
+Metropolitan Board of Works.
+
+I am, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient Servant,
+ J. A. GODLEY.
+
+10, Downing Street,
+ 8_th_ _May_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P.,
+
+SIR,
+
+I believe with this letter, I have done all that a gentleman in a private
+station can with propriety do to urge upon the Government the purchase of
+two plots of land, one of six acres and the other of twelve, adjoining
+Primrose Hill, to be used by boys and youths for foot-ball and cricket.
+In a very short time buildings will be commenced upon the smaller plot,
+and the opportunity will be lost.
+
+How much this ground is now wanted was apparent in the numbers playing
+cricket this afternoon in the Regent’s Park. In the portion allotted to
+boys the wickets were placed in many cases only eight yards apart;
+perhaps there were 1000 boys playing, and only those clubs were allowed
+that previously had obtained permission.
+
+The same applies to the ground for youths and men. There were, perhaps,
+800 playing; one set of wickets was close to another on all sides, and it
+was marvellous the game could go on without serious accidents. A
+sergeant of police that happened to be passing told me it looked most
+dangerous, and nothing would induce him to join; but a youth, who was
+playing, said the accidents were very few,—although at first he was much
+frightened, yet the danger was not so great as it appeared.
+
+The purchase of the eighteen acres would relieve this ground, enable some
+of the clubs to go to Primrose Hill, and cricket could be properly and
+joyfully played, and space would be given for many who now very much wish
+to play but cannot.
+
+I have only to add, that should next Saturday afternoon prove fine, any
+gentleman, about five o’clock in the afternoon, may ascertain how painful
+to witness is the present over-crowded cricket ground of the Regent’s
+Park.
+
+I have the honour to be, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient Servant,
+ WILLIAM RAY SMEE.
+
+Regent’s Park North,
+ 10_th_ _May_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ WILLIAM RAY SMEE, ESQ.,
+
+Sir,
+
+Mr. Gladstone desires me to inform you that your letter of the 10th inst.
+should have been addressed to the First Commissioner of Works.
+
+I am, Sir,
+
+ Your obedient Servant,
+ W. E. GURDON.
+
+10, Downing Street,
+ 15_th_ _May_, 1873.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+This closes the correspondence, and upon reflection it will be apparent
+that a great nation can find no better and no more economical use for a
+little mite of surplus revenue than its judicious employment in providing
+space for healthy, innocent, and cheap out-door amusement. The money so
+spent on behalf of the population of this gigantic capital will double
+itself over and over again. It is the active and the healthy that make a
+nation progress. It is good sound sense, united with a vigorous frame,
+that enables the man, advantageously to himself, to augment the receipts
+of the British exchequer.

+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

It +is probable most persons who know the wants of the district will +be of opinion that it is very desirable this should be +done. Every summer’s evening there is, in the small +space of ground now available in the Regent’s Park, +over-crowding and a badly made game. Many who wish to play +cannot for want of room, and two fine boys, about fourteen years +of age, complained that they were frequently hit, and the balls +crossed each other so closely that they did not know their own +ball. But another proposal was incidentally mentioned, upon +which there cannot be the same unanimity. It is suggested +that a road should be made from the top of Portland Place for +equestrians, carriages, and cabs through the Regent’s Park, +and then to some part of Hampstead Heath. If any one +considering this question will stand at the top of Portland Place +and imagine the same carried on straight through the park, and +then, as far as now can be done, a park-like road made to the +Heath, and reflect how charming and healthy such a drive and ride +must be, with the bracing air and beautiful views on all sides, +easy and pleasant of access, he, perhaps, may think the scheme +worthy of very careful investigation.</p> +<p><a name="page4"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 4</span>Those who +are acquainted with Paris know the extraordinary change for the +better effected when a new and direct road was carried from the +Arc de L’Etoile to the Bois de Boulogne, and it is to be +presumed that improvements will, without loss of time, be made in +Hampstead Heath, and, as in the Bois de Boulogne, suitable rides +and drives created. The natural advantages of the situation +are in favour of London as compared with Paris, and it is not too +much to say, if proper use is made of them, that, as a whole, +Regent’s Park, Primrose Hill Park, and Hampstead Heath +will, for all the purposes that parks are formed, be unsurpassed +in Europe.</p> +<p>But to open the park at Portland Place may require an Act of +Parliament, and many may think the Regent’s Park is best as +it is; nevertheless, the extreme beauty of a road through the +centre of the Regent’s Park, in addition to being so much +nearer, ought to be a consideration. It will shorten the +drive to Primrose Hill going and returning, over the present +route, nearly a mile; but should this not be deemed sufficient +reason for the change, then it may be desirable to make a +carriage bridge over the canal instead of the present foot bridge +at the end of the Broad Walk, opening into the Albert Road at St. +Mark’s Church and close by Primrose Hill.</p> +<p>Should public opinion approve this scheme there is no reason +to suppose the Government will offer any opposition to it.</p> +<p>2, <span class="smcap">St. Edmund’s Terrace</span>,<br +/> + + +<span class="smcap">Regent’s Park North</span>,<br /> + + +25<i>th</i> <i>June</i>, 1873.</p> +<h2><a name="page5"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +5</span>LETTERS.</h2> +<p style="text-align: right">The Right Hon.

Every small open +space is closed. Boys and youths who cannot afford to pay +have no place for cricket except on public property. On +Saturdays, the young of more than half a million of people come +to Primrose Hill, or would come if there were space. This +afternoon there were between 2,000 and 3,000, and if the day had +been finer there would have been many more.</p> +<p>I showed to a gentleman well conversant with the district the +ground I thought ought to be purchased, and he assured me in five +years’ time, with the addition, space would be wanting, and +strongly urged the publication of the suggestion.

The +State is equally rich whether the property is in money or +land.

Nevertheless it is altogether different from what +the State would have done. It is neither broad nor +straight. It does not add to, but takes from the beauty of +the neighbourhood. In the meantime Hampstead Heath has +become public property, and the opportunity to make a direct +approach thereto from Regent Street in a way, which foreign +visitors to London would have greatly admired, is permanently +lost.</p> +<p>Mr. Smee mentions this, as it may still be worthy of +consideration, whether Regent’s Park might not be opened at +Portland Place, and whether anything can now be accomplished in +the unmade portion of the road between Primrose Hill and +Hampstead Heath.</p> +<p style="text-align: right">To the Right Hon.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future +generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see +Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at +www.gutenberg.org + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +</pre></body> +</html> diff --git a/62152-h/images/cover.jpg b/62152-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0810c0e --- /dev/null +++ b/62152-h/images/cover.jpg |
