		Ayrton, a lawyer by profession, yielded nothing to his master, Gladstone, in his enthusiasm for low taxation and economy in public works.
		It is hard to disagree with the judgement of Mark Girouard, historian of the museum, that "Ayrton's main passion was for economy; he despised art, disliked most architects and artists, and felt that one of his main functions was to cut them down to size".
		One of Ayrton's first acts was to cut Waterhouse's budget for the new museum from £500,000 to £330,000.

		Acton Smee Ayrton was popular in the Tower Hamlets because he promised more thoroughness in Liberalism than Sir William Clay, who was a gentleman of fine manners and fixed principles—fixed also in the sense of not moving forwards, and this made many electors wish for a member capable of progress.
		Ayrton's election was uncertain, my candidature could not be successful, but by persisting in it I might imperil his chances; so I wrote to him to the effect that I would retire and advise my friends to vote for him.
		Ayrton, saying—"Here, sir, try an orange, it may relieve you." A Tower Hamlets election mob thirty years ago was not a very dainty crowd, but they had an instinct for an act of public courtesy, and cheered the returning officer who showed it.

	Biographical information (Part 4)
		In the 1870s, anxieties over the status of Kew – and over his personal standing in the scientific world – drew Hooker into conflict with Acton Smee Ayrton, the first commissioner of the Office of Works (which had taken over control of Kew from Woods and Forests in 1850).
		By 1872, Ayrton had already made several attempts to cut public spending on scientific institutions and had clashed with Hooker several times as he tried to assert his authority over Kew.
		He now privately consulted Owen as to the future of the rival herbaria and Owen, not surprisingly, proposed that Kew’s collections be transferred to the Natural History museum – a proposal that would have reduced Kew to a mere public park.
