Has DEATH
(in a rage)
Been invited by the Commissioners of Common Sewers
to take up his abode in Lambeth?
Or, from what other villainous cause proceeds this frightful
Mortality by which we are surrounded?
In this Pest-House of the Metropolis, and disgrace to the Nation,
the main thoroughfares are still without Common Sewers,
although the Inhabitants have paid exorbitant Rates
from time immemorial!!!
'O Heaven! that such companions thoudst unfold,
And put in every honest hand, a whip,
To lash the rascals naked through the world.'
Unless something be speedily done to allay the
growing discontent of the people, retributive justice in her salutary
Vengeance will commence her operations with the Lamp-Iron and the Halter.
SALUS POPULI
Lambeth, August, 1832
J. W. PEEL, Printer, 9, New Cut, Lambeth
