Printed handbill reproducing a letter from Hensley, headed '(From "THE TIMES," October 17, 1888.) | SLOUGH AND M. ARAGO. | TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.', deploring the proposed change of the name of the twon from Slough to Upton Royal.

On one side of a piece of wove paper, 32 x 24 cm. Text clear and complete. Fair, on lightly-aged and creased paper, with slight wear to extremities. Headed '(From "THE TIMES," October 17, 1888.) SLOUGH AND M. ARAGO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.' The letter is thirteen lines long, ephatically printed in good-sized type. Signed in type 'LEWIS HENSLEY. | Hitchin Vicarage, Oct. 16, 1888.' Begins 'Sir, - The abortive attempts to change the name of Slough into Upton Royal are to be renewed, by means of an address to the Queen.' A quotation in French from Arago follows, to the effect that the scientific discoveries made at Slough will transmit its name to future generations. Concludes 'Apparently, the name of Slough is to be obliterated from so high a place on the roll of fame by its own inhabitants; but Europe and the world have a claim to be consulted.' The unsuccessful campaign to change the name of the town was initiated by Frederick Charsley in 1882, and only defeated by the refusal of the petition mentioned in the Hensley's letter.
