Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What I Saw in London: Or Men and Things in the Great Metropolis It is customary, we believe, to write a preface, if one ventures to do that somewhat dangerous, though not uncommon thing - make a book. Taking advantage of this custom, we will not let our firstling go forth without a single explanation to live or die, according to its intrinsic merits. Our words shall be few, however - simply in explanation of the circumstances under which we saw the emporium of England. In the autumn of 1847, at the age of nineteen, we sailed from Boston for Liverpool, and resided in the English capital for a year: again in the July of 1850 we set sail from New York for Liverpool, and spent another twelvemonth in London. This volume is the result of our observations during that time. We simply write of what we saw, and therefore the work is not a hand-book to London; we have described some things at length, others with brevity, but make no pretensions of describing all even of the prominent men and things in the English metropolis. But as a faithful description of such men and things as came under our observation - as a true account of our own impressions of London, its places, people, their manners and customs, we hope for it the good opinion of those who may honor it with attention.
