Wearied and disgusted

[RichardB]

A casual visitor to Sheffield will doubtless come

away wearied and disgusted.

The greasy blackness of the buildings, and the pall of grey smoke which overshadows

the city, will have filled him with a longing

for the freshness of the country, and a clear, pure

atmosphere.

Those who know Sheffield, and are accustomed

to these things, cease to notice them. Their

interests are centred in the cause of this blackness,.

so that the smoke and dirt are rightly regarded as

necessary, but unfortunate adjuncts.
