Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hand-Book of London: Past and Present
Maps and London Illustrations is quite unparalleled both in size and importance.
Another kind friend, from whom I have received material assist ance since the former publication, is Mr. Leigh Hunt, who not only lent me his own annotated copy of the book, but supplied me with his ms. Collections for a continuation of his Town, - the most pleasing book of local anecdote and illustration as yet produced on a popular subject like London.
