THE DAVID COPPERFIELD LIBRARY

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—The David Copperfield Library at Johnson Street, Somers Town, is in urgent need of funds. Each evening, children of this hard-up neighbourhood flock to the Library ; they wash hands, put on overalls, and browse on the generously filled book-shelves ; they join in games, and two superintendents are always in charge.

Will any of your readers who feel interested communicate with the hon. treasurer, Mr. Pett Ridge, Garrick Club, London ? A sum of five pounds meets the expenses for one week.—We are, Sir, &c., HENRY F. DICKENS. ARTHUR PINERO.

MADGE KENDAL.

EDWARD A. GREGG. (Mayor of St. Pancras.)
