Transcript

ee) amounted to 1,708,000, and in 1872 to 185,000,000 pounds. Tea, it may be said, was pronounced ‘tay,’ as is shown by the following lines :— ‘And Gentle Anna, whom three realms obey, Does sometimes counsel take, and sometimes tay.’ There is no doubt that the introduction of tea, coffee, and chocolate, has been instrumental in im- proving the social condition of the people; for the taste for these drinks led rapidly to the establish- ment of tea, coffee, and chocolate houses in London, where people of all classes met, conversed, and exchanged ideas. In the year 1708 there were in London alone no fewer than 3000 coffee-houses, of which the most famous one was White’s Chocolate House; since then it has become White’s Club. As facilities for meeting increased, the taste for society increased, and drew people away from the country to the towns. In the time of Queen Anne the population of London only represented a tenth of the population of the entire kingdom ; now it represents as much as a sixth. Whether this great concentration of humanity is advantageous or detrimental to the general interests of Great Britain is another question, and one on which it is not my province to dilate.
