LONDON IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.

With many Illustrations from Contemporary Prints and a Map.
Some Press Opinions.
"To praise this book were superfluous. Sir Walter was ideally suited
for the task which he set himself. He was an antiquarian, but not a
Dryasdust; he had the topographical sense, but he spared us
measurements; he was pleasantly discursive; if he moralized he was
never tedious; he had the novelist's eye for the romantic. Above
all, he loved and reverenced London. Though only a Londoner by
adoption, he bestowed upon the capital a more than filial regard.
Besant is the nineteenth-century Stow and something more.... This
remarkable volume."--_Daily Telegraph._
