THE SOUTH LONDON FREE ART GALLERY.

[TO THE EDITOR OF TEE "SPECTATOR."]

you allow us, a few working men of South London, to ask for further help in our attempt to keep before ourselves, and our fellow-workmen and their families, an ideal of a higher life than even technical education? Many generous friends have lent us many pictures, and helped towards our expenses ; and within the last twelve months more than a hundred thousand people, nearly all genuine artisans, have visited our art galleries. We spend less than £300 yearly for every expense, including heavy rent, and towards this we have this year but £200. We ask for donations towards our expenses, and for the loan of pictures for such times as their owners can spare them, how- ever short. All letters should be sent to our Secretary, Miss Olver, and cheques should be crossed " Robarts, Lubbock, and Co., account of South London Free Art Gallery."—We are., Sir, &c., J. Thus, Cigar-Maker; R. BOUNDS, Mason ; W. BRAGG,. Carpenter ; N. BROOKS, Carpenter ; R. BuTclikaT., Polisher ; W. CLARK, Shunter.
