Question:
Why should I read this book?
Answer:
In the first place, perhaps you are interested
in the health of the children of Barking, which
I think is a very good reason for reading
the book. In the second place, if you are not
interested in the health of the children of
Barking you ought to be, and this I also
think is a very good reason for reading the
book. In the third place, and this is personal
to me, I have tried to make the book
readable and I should be very disappointed
if you did not read it.
