Historic Landmarks "During the whole progress of this work the author has had in mind only such aspects of Modern London as are not presented by the compilers of the guide-books. Descriptive accounts of churches, public buildings, the Halls of the City Companies, noble mansions, historic through fares and the thousand and one other component features of "the Great Wen" have been studiously avoided...

In short, he can truly claim that "A New Book About London" breaks fresh ground. ...A mere glance at the analytical Contents will show the comprehensiveness of the author's design in embodying within the limits of a single volume all that a Londoner spending his holidays in Town, a country excursionist, or a tourist from across the seas might like to know about the Greatest City in the World....Whereas all the "Old Houses with a History," and by far the greater number of those embraced in the itinerary "Round the Town," are the original fabrics, the "Historic Landmarks," each also invested with a tale to tell....L.W."
