A BOOK ABOUT LONDON:
Its Memorable Places, its Men and Women, and its History. Crown 8vo. 6s.
PART I.—Stories of Historical Scenes and Events.
PART II.—Stories of Famous Localities and Buildings.
PART III.—Stories of Crime and Misadventure.
In this volume an attempt has been made to present in a series of striking episodical narratives the principal events in London history, and some of the more striking aspects of London life. Full particulars are given of plots and conspiracies, forgeries and murders, executions and hair-breadth escapes; and many favourite old stories, not easily accessible now, are brought forward in a new dress, with all the light of recent research thrown upon them.
