Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Kensington Palace: And Other Papers One of the many projects of that indefatigable philanthropist, Mr. John Evelyn, of Sayes Court, Deptford, was a scheme for suppressing London smoke. Walking in the Palace at Whitehall, not long after the Restoration, in order to refresh himself with the sight of his Royal Master´s illustrious presence (the expression is his own), he was sorely disturbed by the presumptuous vapours which, issuing from certain tunnels or chimneys in the neighbourhood of Northumberland House and Scotland Yard, did ´so invade the court, that all the rooms, galleries, and places about it were fill´d and infested with it; and that to such a degree, as men could hardly discern one another for the clowd, and none could support.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
