Stephenson, Henry Thew. Shakespeare’s London. [**]$2. Holt.
A topographical description of London as Shakespeare saw it, compiled largely from contemporary sources, and profusely illustrated from old prints. It gives an introductory sketch of the Elizabethans, an account of the early growth of the city, and a picturesque presentation of St. Paul’s, the water front, the tower, the main highway, the strand, in fact, the London of the 16th century. The book closes with chapters upon theatres, taverns and tavern life in those boisterous days.
“The book may be emphatically recommended to teachers and students no less than to the general reader.”
