Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Clintons: And Others The bells of the city still ring out on Sunday morn ings and evenings, but they call few parishioners to church. The streets, so thronged on week days, are a desert; for the citizens of London now live elsewhere, and those that are left of the fine old dwelling-houses are let out into offices, and may deliver up the children of an occasional caretaker to the ministrations of re ligion, but never a well-to-do City family out of all those that used to inhabit them. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the exodus had already begun. City magnates lived in Bloomsbury or Holborn, or in the nearer suburbs, Or had migrated to the pleasant villages of Dulwich or Hampstead, where they could enjoy complete rurality within a few miles of their offices and warehouses.
