Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, October 24, 1891

Here is an Institution doomed to scare
The furious devotees of Laissez Faire .
What mental shock, indeed, could prove immenser
To Mumbo Jumbo—or to HERBERT SPENCER?
Free Books? Reading provided from the Rates?
Oh, that means Freedom's ruin, and the State's!
Self-help's all right,—e'en if you rob a brother—
But human creatures must not help each other!
The Self-made Man, whom SAMUEL SMILES so praises,
Who on his fellows' necks his footing raises,
The systematic Sweater, who sucks wealth
