Excerpt from Pen-and-Ink Notes at the Glasgow Exhibition: A Series of Illustrations
The International Exhibition of 1888 is an evidence, which all the world can read, of the enterprise and energy possessed by the people of Glasgow. All Glasgovians -who have the honour of their native city at heart are proud of the success which the Exhibition has achieved, and of the public notice it has attracted. While we know well that it is not within the compass of humanity to "command success," it may safely be said that the trouble and care bestowed upon the undertaking have borne their natural results, and that these are satisfactory, because from the outset all that prudence, earnestness, and well-directed intelligence could effect, was done to ensure success. Providence is always on the side of the strongest battalions, and the promoters and managers of the Glasgow Exhibition, having trusted nothing to chance, have merited the reward that has crowned their enthusiasm and foresight.
