If the ' monumentuni sere perex nnius was his desire , lie has it in the Oilgood jl word of rich and poor , and in the eloquent witness borne by the lar ge assembl y at I his funeral to the kindliness of heart which marked his every action. I In glancing at the career of this successful * citizen of no mean city ' it may be II noted at the outset as one of the strange accidents of our commercial system that I the name of a man to whom the words we have written may justly be applied should never hav e been included in the style and titl e of the house of which he was the head , and in which he began life as far back as 182(3.

Of the trade charities Mr. Miles was a liberal supporter , and he acted as a trustee of the Booksellers ' Provident Retreat . It was only natural th at a man whose business qua lities soon secured for him a reputation in the commercia l world beyon d tbe limits of ' the Row 3 should be asked to take a prominent part in public organisations ; and we find that , among other posts which he filled , were those of director and trustee of the London Life Association ; director of the West I Middlesex Waterworks Com pany ; chairman , of Mudie 's Librar y Company ; and 1 director of the Imp roved Industrial Dwell ings Company. In his own trade circles 1 he was frequentl y called upon to act as arbitrator , and his awards were genera lly esteemed to be fair and judicial. In the management of the great philanth ro pic institutions of centra l London he took a share , and was a governor of St. Bartho lo- mew's Hosp ital, where for four years he filled the office of Almoner ; a governor of Bridewell and Bethlehem Hosp itals and of the Kin g Edward School , the committee —™—^pp -^f p- -^^pF- ^F^ pr ^p-- ^PB£PPBP* «0B^ yg p ^^ > ^"^p» h ^^pp —• -- — — I I ¦ — — - ~-^^ "^^" ^^h ^pbh- BppK ^ ¦ h^ ^H-^^p ^^pp p^^ ^^a, ^^p r pi ^ -^pp pp p "^^" p p ¦ ^"—-^P" ^ "^ » ™» ^^ p^^— ¦ ^pP- ^ p^ b ^ pP> pBTPa -^ f- ppPI ^^p> p^ ^ PP^ ^ ¦tf meetingsP^^^™^^^^ ^^ of which he regularl yp^ attended*^^ ^ -^^^ — ^ ; and a trustee^^ for, thef^ h ^>^ p^P LadiesIPHp^^il^ pp V '^ t^ ^^* ^P"" "^^^ ' Cha^^ ri ty^^J School .
