Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History, Topography, and Antiquities of Highgate, in the County of Middlesex: With Notes on the Surrounding Neighbourhood of Hornsey, Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Etc The labour involved in compiling a volume like the present, to one unaccustomed to literary work, is so considerable that my readers might reasonably enquire, Why was it undertaken? Having served the office of Honorary Secretary of the Highgatc Literary and Scientific Institution for some twelve years, and during that time-aiming to make it a centre of local interest-collected and collated a very considerable number of prints and portraits relating to Highgatc and its neighbourhood (now hung upon the walls of the reading-room of the Institution), I became the depositary of much local information, tradition, and gossip, which has given me an immense interest in the old village. This accumulated information I have been kindly and repeatedly urged to put into some permanent form. Having but little leisure, the matter has stood over until such a time as convenience and inclination might happily meet.
