Excerpt from Guide to the Income-Tax AT either end of Cheapside in this great London of ours, there is a monument to the memory of two of the greatest statesmen of the last century, and yet so curiously obsessed is the average Londoner in his own concerns that he rarely crosses the road to read the inscription on the one, and does not even know of the other. The first is the erect figure of Sir Robert Peel, near St. Paul's Cathedral, a notable statue in stone, and the second the reclining form of Mr. William Pitt in the National Debt Office at the bottom of Old Jewry, which is probably the finest seated statue in bronze to be found the world over. The splendid qualities and achievements of these two remarkably able Statesmen are sufficiently de scribed and eulogized in the glowing pages of Macaulay.
