An Anthology in Prose and Verse
By HELEN AND LEWIS MELVILLE
A selection of what poets and prose writers have said about the great metropolis—that capital of all Europe which has for most Americans the closest attraction and the most lasting charm. Curious out-of-the-way places and equally curious out-of-the-way people are tucked away in some parts of the book, while elsewhere, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and other of the more renowned parts of the city come in for their share of treatment. Every section of London is here and all the different viewpoints from which it has been regarded, as well. The authors selected range from Herrick, Shelley, Lamb, and Hazlitt to Hood, Dickens, Thackeray, and Wilde.

The Wayfarer in New York
This book takes up New York in much the same way that London was discussed in "London's Lure." A few pages from old books of travel and correspondence show how the city changed in aspect through the years. Then follow more or less impressionistic pictures of different phases of the modern city, from the yeasty, seething East Side, west to where old Greenwich grimly holds its own; from the "granite cliffs" of lower Broadway to where by night "the serpent of stars" winds around Morningside.
