* Street, George Slythe. Ghosts of Piccadilly. **$2.50. Putnam.
With Mr. Street as guide, the reader enters the Piccadilly of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, goes from house to house, and studies the characteristics of the “ghosts of no ordinary men and women.” Among them are Dr. Johnson, Beau Brummel, Lady Ashburton, Tennyson, the Carlyles, “Old Q,” Macaulay, Byron and Lady Hamilton.
“On the whole a very worthy addition to the noble army of books about the Town.”
