Ready-made Wood Pavement
WHEN the Marylebone vestrymen were discussing the propriety of laying
down wood pavement within their parish, and were raising difficulties on
the subject, Jerrold, as he read the report of the discussion, said:--
Difficulties in the way! Absurd. They have only to put their heads
together, and there is the wood pavement.
This joke has been erroneously given to Sydney Smith.
