Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clintons: And Others The narrow streets of the City resounded with the clangour of church bells. It was a sunny morning in late September, and such of the citizens of London as still resided within the boundaries were making their way, with their wives and families, to their respective parish churches, which were sometimes so close together that a stone thrown from one tower or steeple could have hit another. The bells of the City still ring out on Sunday mornings and evenings, but they call few parishioners to church. The streets, so thronged on week days, are a desert; for the citizens of London now live elsewhere, and those that are left of the fine old dwelling-houses are let out into offices, and may deliver up the children of an occasional caretaker to the ministrations of religion, but never a well-to-do City family out of all those that used to inhabit them. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the exodus had already begun. City magnates lived in Bloomsbury or Holborn, or in the nearer suburbs, or had migrated to the pleasant villages of Dulwich or Hampstead, where they could enjoy complete rurality within a few miles of their offices and warehouses. But there were some who clung to the old ways of living; and most of the tradespeople within the City boundaries still lived over their shops.
