Excerpt from An Historical Guide to LondonThe reader who desires to pursue the subject of Historical London, but has not the time or opportunity to examine contemporary sources, will find the most convenient and scholarly summary of the facts in Mr Loftie's two volumes of The History of London as the best general survey in Mr Lethaby's London before the Conquest, a masterly statement of the early City, based on a careful examination of original evidence, as distinguished from loose traditions, in Dr Reginald R. Sharpe's London and the Kingdom, for the general political situation. Mr Kingsford's two-volume edition of Stow's Survey of London, with very full notes, and a fine map by Mr Emery Walker, is by far the best issue of a book which remains the chief classic of London history.I have to thank my brother, Mr W. F. Taylor, not only for the judgment he has shown in producing pictures which most adequately represent what is left of historical London, but also for innumerable suggestions concerning the book itself. I am also indebted to Captain Charles E. Glad stone, r.n., for his kindness in allowing me to reproduce the four photographs of Westminster Abbey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
