For those wishing to know: Matthew is one of my local Kensington heroes of 
the 1860s: he would write to the newspapers saying how good it would be to 
have a public library, he'd arrange a vestry meeting to enact the Public 
Libraries Act, he'd produce publicity to get people to go to it (like this 
eBook) and on the day only the local Vestry Men would turn, listen in 
total silience to Matthew's eloquent advocacy of libaries, and then, every 
time, vote 100% against him.  And then next year, he'd have another go!

All the best,
