Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Walks in London, Vol. 1 of 2 Long ago, when I was a boy at a private tutor´s near Edmonton, the only book in which I could find any interest or amusement in the scanty library of the house was Charles Knight´s ´London´ and the pleasure derived from it led to my spending every sixpence I could save, and every holiday on which I could get leave, in seeing some of the places it described. London is much changed since that time; but the solitary expeditions I then made through its historic sights, so inexpressibly delightful at the time, laid a foundation for the work of the last two years, of which these volumes are the result. They aim at nothing original, indeed any one who attempts a work of the kind must, to borrow the language of the author of ´Eothen,´ be ´subjected to the immutable law which compels a man with a pen in his hand to be uttering now and then some sentiment not his own, as though, like the French peasant under the old rffu he were bound to perform a certain amount of work on the public highways.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
