Description:Excerpt from London as Seen and Described by Famous WritersParis in selecting from a vast number of works descriptions of such external characteristics of the city as are recorded by travellers and famous native and foreign writers. In Paris, the selections, as a rule, are devoted to special monu ments, while in this book they deal largely with general impressions of various sections of the great city. However, there will be found descriptions of many of the chief monu ments, the streets, the squares, the parks, the old churches and civic buildings with associations, besides much interest ing historical matter; but I have almost entirely neglected including articles on the London of the past and have re stricted myself to the London of the Nineteenth Century. Comparatively few of those who are ready to admit the greatness of London and to whom the name alone suggests a wealth of romantic and historical interest, realize that the marvellous city on the Thames has special charms beneath its canopy of smoke and fog for the artist and lover of the picturesque. This quality has been insisted upon in the following pages, wherein much space has been given to the river, the docks and out-of-the-way nooks and corners that have aroused the enthusiastic admiration of many writers. The London fog, which is so much abused, as a rule, has its apologist and eulogist here. The immensity of the city is fully brought out in the brilliant essays of Mr. G. W.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
