Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Scenes There are no streets like her streets then - misty, mysterious, endless; no houses like her grey houses throned upon cloud. She has a dreariness that is poignant and masterful, a shabbiness that is grandiose. The tawdriness of her summer mood has vanished; she wears her grey rags as a queen her robes, like a Cinderella who scorns all satins and crystal slippers though the crystal slippers are not wanting when the rain splashes up from the trans parent ways.

My purpose was a simple one, to endeavour to interest Londoners in their own possession. I have stepped into no controversies, still less have I attempted any contribution towards settling them. If I am told that everything here said is familiar, then I shall be glad, for that will indicate a deeper knowledge by London citizens of their historical buildings and the matchless history of their city than has been disclosed to my own experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out and About London IT was a lucid, rain-washed morning - one of those rare mornings when London seems to laugh before you, disclosing her random beauties. In every park the trees were hung with adolescent tresses, green and white and yellow, and the sky was busy with scudding clouds. Even the solemn bricks had caught something of the sudden colour of the day, and London seemed to toss in its long, winter sleep and to take the heavy breaths of the awakening sluggard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Looker on in London It is a trite saying that comparisons are odious, and comparisons between England and the United States seem capable of giving peculiar and marked offense; yet it is only by comparing that which is unfamiliar to the reader to those things familiar to both the writer and this public that an approximate idea may be conveyed of matters discussed or described; consequently where such com parisons occur in this volume there has been no desire either to discredit England at the expense of the United States, or the reverse.

Download or read book One of the Thirty written by Hargrave Jennings and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One of the Thirty: A Strange History How the following account, which deals wholly of London, came into my hand, I shall not impart. But I begin my singular (and singularly romantic) true narrative with a description of occurrences - domestic occurrences - contemporaneous with all the people and the facts and forms which are about us now, at this moment, in London. Therefore the reader must not be astonished if I speedily relate some very surprising and bewildering circumstances. Mine is surely a most un common relation of facts, and one very difficult to reconcile with everyday truth. Believed or not believed, however, this is the record of real events occurring in this familiar London of ours in the summer of 1871. For we have in this town of our daily life not quite got rid yet of wonderful things, simple as we think our selves, and very ordinary and commonplace as we con sider not only the affairs which happen every day about us, but also the people that, in our Walks abroad, we are constantly meeting. In truth, we are very ignorant; and we are sadly disposed to disregard things that concern us very nearly. But if our guides are blind, is it surprising that we are blindly led, embracing posts as pillars of truth occasionally; not thinking that the index-finger is of wood?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Night Side of London More than thirty years have passed since the publica tion of the last edition of a book which bore the same title as this The Night Side of London. It ran through several editions, and that in spite of the fact that it had no illustrations; this bore witness to the widespread in terest taken in the subject. At the time of the publication of the former Night Side of London, the town pre sented certain aspects of night-life which have since passed away, but which undoubtedly were of unusual interest to those keenly observant of the human tragi comedy. Thirty years ago or so the Argyle Rooms, Cremorne, and the Casino still flourished, as did the Cave of Harmony and C aldwell's. Since these days there has been a considerable change, at all events on the surface, in the night-life of London. This has been brought about by various influences - principally, by the much greater activity and efiiciency of the police, urged on by public opinion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In London's Heart IT Was eight o'clock in the evening, and a thin haze which had hung over London through the October afternoon had lifted, and the night was bright and exhilarating. The working day was over. The shop assistants, glad to escape from their monotonous toil, were pouring into the streets. Streams of pleasure seekers were walking toward the great centre of theatrical entertainment, and smart little broughams, 'with ladies and gentlemen in evening dress, were dash ing along as fast as the plague of omnibuses would allow them. Outside one of the most fashionable restaurants in Piccadilly, the big foreigner in uniform who has taken the place of the English commissionaire was preparing to receive company. He had been lolling in an easy attitude against the door-post, reading a pink extra special until the clock struck eight, but now he had begun to assume an important, not to say dictatorial, attitude toward the crawling hansoms and four-wheel ers which seemed to him to be blocking the way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from To London Town The afternoon had slumbered in the sun, but now the August air freshened with an awakening breath, and Epping Thicks stirred and whispered through a myriad leaves. Far away beyond the heaving greenwoods distant clouds floated flat on the upper air, and a richer gold grew over the hills as the day went westward. This way and that, between and about trees and undergrowth, an indistinct path went straggling by easy grades to the lower ground by Wormleyton Pits; an errant path whose every bend gave choice of green passes toward banks of heather and bracken. It was by this way that an old man and a crippled child had reached the Pits. He was a small old man, white haired, and a trifle bent; but he went his way with a sturdy tread, satchel at side and butterfly net in hand.
