Synopsis
Excerpt from The London Programme
The greatest need of the metropolis is, it may be suggested, the growth among its citizens of a greater sense of common life. That Municipal Patriotism which once marked the free cities of Italy, and which is already to be found in our own provincial towns, can, perhaps, best be developed in London by a steady expansion of the sphere of civic as compared with individual action.
