She hath done what she could / A Discourse addressed to the Ratepayers of St. Marylebone, urging the adoption of The Public Libraries Act, 1855

The pamphlet urges local ratepayers to adopt the Public Libraries Act, arguing that publicly funded free libraries and news rooms will spread knowledge, reduce pauperism and intemperance, and provide affordable access to books and newspapers. It answers objections to a small rate as exaggerated, criticizes opponents as self-interested or obstructionist, and outlines practical management under appointed commissioners. The author frames the measure as a civic and moral good, appeals for especially strong female support, and contrasts inexpensive public provision with costly private institutes.
