About This Book
A detailed topographical and historical survey of the City of London, arranged as a street-by-street perambulation grouped into logical sections. It interweaves architectural descriptions, church and company histories, and antiquarian notes with a contemporary (end of the nineteenth century) account of urban appearance. The text includes appendices cataloguing livery companies and civic officers, large maps and numerous illustrations, and discusses vanished as well as extant buildings while explaining editorial conventions used for identifying surviving churches and company halls.
