Literary Landmarks of London ... Eighth edition, revised and enlarged, etc

Preface

TO THE EIGHTH EDITION. THE gratifying success of this work on both sides of the Atlantic, and the fact that it has been accepted as an authority by the later writers upon London, serve to war rant its appearance in a new and illustrated form. It has been carefully revised for this Edition ; a number of Sup plementary Notes have been added by way of Appendix ; and, as far as possible, it has been brought down to the present day. It is felt that the many portraits now for the first time printed with it, will give it new interest and value in the eyes of all lovers of London and of her literary associations. L. H.
