Explore "Letters of Marque" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
_Of the Sordidness of the Supreme Government on the Revenue Side; / and of the Palace of Jeypore -- A great King's Pleasure-House, and / the Work of the Servants of State._
Internally, there is, in all honesty, no limit to the luxury of the Jeypore Museum. It revels in "South Kensington" cases -- of the approved pattern -- that turn the beholder home-sick, and South Kensington labels, whereon the description, measurements and price of each object, are fairly printed. These make savage one who knows how labelling is bungled in some of the Government Museums -- those starved barns that are supposed to hold the economic exhibits, not of little States but of great Provinces.
