THE TOWER OF LONDON
Painted by JOHN FULLEYLOVE, R.I.
Text by ARTHUR POYSER
Containing 20 Full-Page Illustrations in Colour and a Plan.
The Tower of London stands as an epitome of English history in stone and lime. It is, as it should be, a never-failing object of interest to all of us from the days when we went to see it as children to the days when we take our grandchildren to see it. But a hurried visit to the old buildings can never satisfy our desire to know more of the history and the romance, as well as the darker record, of the Tower and its surroundings. The existing books on the subject are either the small paper-covered guide-books, or the more costly descriptions in two and four volumes which cannot appeal, by reason of their bulk and high price, to every one. This new book on the Tower comes to fill the middle place. It can be used as a guide, and afterwards, when placed on the bookshelf, will, by the aid of Mr. Fulleylove’s delightful water-colours and the author’s sketches of the drama and romance of Tower history, be found to stand as a descriptive and pictorial record of one of the most interesting buildings in the world.

Demy Quarto, Cloth. MAPS OF OLD LONDON PRICE 5s.
Edited by G. E. MITTON
For the first time there is offered to the public, at a price which puts it within the reach of all, an atlas containing a series of maps and plans showing the growth of London from mediæval times. These maps have hitherto only been obtainable separately, at high prices and in many sheets; they were reduced for the purposes of the Survey of London, Sir Walter Besant’s monumental work, and in response to a suggestion the publishers now issue them in a compact and convenient form. To trace the spread of the city from the reign of Elizabeth—to which the first map belongs—through the succeeding centuries, is a work of absorbing interest, and the student of Old London will learn more from such a study than by reading many folios of print. Every Londoner should possess this atlas and search out in it the growth and changes that have taken place in his own locality.
