Excerpt from London City: Its History, Streets, Traffic, Buildings, People These chapters form a series of sketches, each of which is complete in itself. In compiling them I have been obliged continually to go over ground already occupied by myself or others. I have endea voured, nevertheless, to-include the results of the latest researches and discoveries; and although it is not easy to say anything absolutely new about such a well-worn theme, I hope I have been able to put some facts in a new light, and to strengthen the position of others which may hitherto have appeared obscure.
