‘There is not a dull page in the book, and the fact that the treatment is somewhat discursive makes the volume more delightful. We can give no idea of its variety and its charm, but every one who wishes to know the London of two hundred and fifty years ago will feel, as he opens this volume, that he has stepped back into that world of great events, and will live again through its civil discord, its Plague, and Fire, and its strange superstitions.’—The London Quarterly Review.
