Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rambles Round London Town Dedicating this little volume to those strangers or rambling Cousins who care to know something less - or, maybe, something more - of our Metropolis and its surroundings than is to be learned from the countless "Guides" and "Companions" with which visitors, venturing within the sound of Bow bells, are usually inundated, I am not supposing that during a limited stay in London, they are likely to have either inclination or leisure to see every public building or to carefully range through each storied suburb. A fatiguing rush up and down, either in print or afoot, goes certainly no way towards garnering either pleasant memories or profitable facts; therefore I will not emulate, even on paper, that Mr. Jonas of unpleasant memory who, having politely ascertained that his cousins were good walkers, showed them as many sights in the way of bridges, churches, streets, outsides of theatres, and other free spectacles in one afternoon as most people see in a twelvemonth. It is a common enough way of treating our helpless Cousins; yet it were better, methinks, to show them fewer "outsides," and allow them at leisure to survey the "within" of such places as must best reward inspection and give them more than a passing enjoyment in the various "Memorials and things of fame That do adorn our city."
