Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches in London In presenting this volume to the public, the Author thinks it proper to mention that his object has been to exhibit life in London in some of the more striking aspects it assumes; and at the same time to lay before the reader such information respecting this modern Babylon, as may prove instructive as well as amusing. Everything the Author has described, has either come under his own observation, or been verbally communicated to him by friends who were cognizant of the facts stated, and in whose veracity he could place the utmost reliance; and he trusts that the work will be found to contain a great amount of information which is not only nowhere else to be found, but which is possessed of permanent interest. With regard to the Illustrations by "Phiz," which embellish the volume, the Author can speak more unreservedly than he could do of the letter-press. They are among the happiest achievements of the genius of one who, though yet but young in years, is unquestionably, in this particular style of engraving, the first artist of the day.
