Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hallowed Spots, Ancient London: Historical, Biographical, and Antiquarian Sketches, Illustrative of Places and Events as They Appeared and Occurred in the Olden Time As the city of their empire, and the central spot on which the great battle of their civilization has been fought, London must ever have a peculiar interest to Englishmen; and any attempt to clothe its long past scenes anew with vivid picturesqueness, and to evoke the dead to play once more their mighty part in the human drama, cannot fail of some degree of interest. So far as these pages go, I have striven to effect this; whether successfully it is not for me to judge. Yet, for the first time perhaps, apart from special histories, I have brought together a vast number of curious facts relating to its churches and chapels, its halls and streets, its prisons and houses, as also of the lives of those who hallowed them by potential services, of which the memory can never die, at least with those who know what such services effected for the advance of civil and religious freedom, for breadth of thought, and purity of moral life. Such questions are necessarily dear to Englishmen, for these it is which, in practical effect, have made their name illustrious, and their country the haven and resting-place of all less happy in the possession of these priceless blessings.
