Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Centuries of Soho: Its Institutions, Firms, and Amusements
First and foremost sincere thanks are due to Sir Walter Besant for his kind help in writing a Preface for this Book. As the greatest living authority on London, and as a temporary dweller in Soho Square, his opinion as to the present effort is of the utmost importance, and all readers will be glad to see that it is a favourable one.
In the writing and compilation of this Book, the Clergy of St. Anne's and their Contributors have had in View not only the Parishioners, but the Public.
They venture to think that the Volume makes a new departure. The history of St. Anne's has been studied through the rise and progress of her Firms, Institutions and Amusements, during the past two hundred years. It is hoped, however, that the results of such investigations will prove, in many cases, of more than parochial interest.
