‘The little drama, in which Mr Taylor has played a leading role – namely, the freeing of Maidenhead bridge – affords a sorry picture of English public-spirit. An influential society joined in the crusade against the iniquitous toll until it discerned, or received a promise of a capitulation of the town authorities, and then left the onus of the costs of the legal machinery to be borne by Mr Taylor only. The Corporation of Maidenhead also, by acknowledging the falseness of its position by abolishing the tolls and going to Parliament to get acquittance for the century of mistake, deemed it a sound policy to try and keep Mr Taylor from a quittance of his costs of his public action in this matter, which had been deemed just by results on every hand. Truly it is now a fatal delusion for any man to take a practical interest in the welfare of his country; Let him work for his own selfish interests; let him even go the front on the chance of a selfish promotion – but fight disinterestedly for his country, never!’
