A New Book About London A Quaint And Curious Volume Of Forgotten Lore PDF Download

Excerpt from A New Book About London: A Quaint and Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore During the whole progress of this work the author has had in mind only such aspects of Modern London as are not presented by the compilers of the guide-books. Descriptive accounts of churches, public buildings, the Halls of the City Companies, noble mansions, historic thoroughfares and the thousand and one other component features of "the Great Wen" have been studiously avoided. Neither has he concerned himself with those various phases of life amid the madding crowd in the Haunts of Mammon, the Emporiums of Commerce, the Promenades of Fashion and the avocations of the toilers and moilers "Down East" which engage the attention of so many practised penmen. In short, he can truly claim that A New Book About London breaks fresh ground. With very, very few exceptions the places of fascinating interest that go to make up these pages are not even mentioned in any similar work.
