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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Scenes and London People: Anecdotes, Reminiscences, and Sketches of Places, Personages, Events, Customs, and Curiosities of London City, Past and Present This volume of "London Scenes and London People" is reprinted from the columns of the City Press newspaper. The habitual readers of that journal will not need to be informed of the circumstances under which the volume has been produced, or of the reason for its publication. But as it will fall into the hands of many readers who are not acquainted with those circumstances, a few words by way of preface seem to be required. The writer of these papers has found an agreeable recreation in contributing to the City Press his own personal recollections of scenes and events and characters illustrative of the past and present life of London City. These reminiscences have been occasionally varied with criticisms of ancient customs, descriptions of relics and memorabilia, and historical pictures touched with colours borrowed from incidents of the passing hour, as well as from memorials little known, and traditions all but forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scenery of London No attempt has been made by either artist or author to give in this book a stereotyped and exhaustive survey of London, that has been done better elsewhere; it is rather the book of two people who love London in all her varying moods, with her wonder, her unexpectedness, her dear familiarity. The questions, "Have I represented this or that or the other?" or "Will not the public miss so and so which always appears in every book of London?" have never once been asked. Artist and author alike have painted and written out of love, and out of their knowledge of the most wonderful city the world has ever known. It is rather as though they said, "Have you ever seen London like that? Do you know just that peculiar atmosphere that comes in the grey morning or wintry evening? Have you realised that the streets are glorious with the records of the great dead? Can you see them, prices, statesmen, bishops, nobles, men of letters, men of science, walking about by-gone London, the same city at heart but so different in aspect from what it is now?"
