Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sixty Years in the Wilderness: More Passages by the Way When in 1870 I came to know Fleet Street as the centre of London journalism, a different state of affairs existed as compared with the situation to-day. With the exception of the Savage Club, not exactly or exclusively a society of working journalists, there was no organised Press Club. The bars of various public-houses along the historic thoroughfare were frequented by journalists going about their daily or nightly work. There was nothing on the scale of the existing Press Club, an institution that has a locality as well as a name. In default of such accommodation, journalists of that day used to foregather at the bar of Spiers and Pond´s Restaurant at Ludgate Hill. A table was set apart for their special use at luncheon and dinner time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
