Book excerpt: Excerpt from In London Town Bookshelves the world over sag under the weight of ponderous volumes fashioned by ge nial wise men who claim to have known London better than Pepys, Thackeray, or Dickens. Mine has been but a passing glance in the crowd - the impressions which might have been gained by any traveller who crossed the Chan nel, hired a hansom at Charing Cross, and lost himself in the throng. My home having been in France for many years, I have naturally looked at London Town through Parisian spec tacles set in an American frame, and, remember ing the sagging shelves and ponderous volumes and all the helpful data bound between their covers, I have been careful to omit all reference to the Tower and all directions how to see the cathedrals, the Houses of Parliament, the Zoo, and the British Museum, between breakfast and luncheon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In London Town, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel Miss Hatchard being thus driven to rely upon her own resources, sent Sarah Ann for the nearest doctor, and that happening to be a parish one, he came readily enough, any sort of private patient being welcome to him. He was a coarse, vulgar-looking man, with long white teeth, and dyed whiskers, and a flashy breast pin - a doctor of the very lowest order of doctors. He made some coarse remark about the girl's beauty, and spoke in an offensively familiar way to Miss Hatchard, that raised an amiable wish in that worthy soul's breast to throw hot water over him; but she suppressed it, although the kettle was handy, and tried to keep him to the matter in hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In London Town, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel She had one near relation in the world, and only one, and that was a brother, many years older than herself. There had been a quarrel between Colonel Everest and him with regard to money matters, and she had taken her lover's part, and married him in spite of brotherly counsel. The Reverend Theophilus Burney was as ignorant of women as a man born of woman can be, but he was not nearly so much offended at his counsel being dis regarded as he was grieved for his sister's fate. After the marriage he made an offer of reconciliation, but the new bride was too proud to let even his eyes see her humiliation, and she refused his offer coldly, whereupon it had not been renewed for Theophilus, though a clergyman, and a good man was but human, and the refusal angered him. She thought of this refusal as she sat with the open Times before her in her dismal lodging in London (the Colonel had not been lavish with regard to money matters). She told herself with a little fierce gesture that she would never go back to be pitied and condoled with, and even as she said it she thought with a sigh of the comfortable Devonshire rectory. Perhaps if time had been given her she would have gone back, with the words of the prodigal not on her lips, but in her heart; but time was not given her. The very day after the news of her husband's death was in the Times, a well-remem bered footstep made a sound of stumbling on the steep London stairs, and Mrs. Everest was in her brother's arms before she well knew he was in the room.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Town, Past and Present, Vol. 1 of 4: Historical, Descriptive, Anecdotal Although of books on London the name is legion, the reception accorded to the present work in serial form has shown that there was room left for a book which aims at giving, in the itinerary form, a descriptive and historical account of the cities and boroughs that make up the Administrative County of London, with some speculations upon the future of the Metropolis. The reader who may fail to find in the following pages something which he would have included had he been the writer will, I hope, in his charity, make allowance for the difficulty created by the immense mass of material available. At every step in the journey it has been necessary, from exigencies of space, -to reject matter which clamoured for acceptance; and many an unhappy quarter of an hour has been spent in deciding between subjects which had exasperatingly equal claims to inclusion. Should the reader's eye fall upon a mistake, the same charity will, I trust, lead him to reflect that the work embraces thousands of names and dates and facts and allusions, and that in the history of London, in spite of the good work done of late years by many diligent students, there is still no lack of slippery places. At the cost of some slight repetition I have aimed at making each chapter as far as possible self-containing, so that the reader may not be distracted by a multitude of cross-references.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Town Past and Present, Vol. 2 of 4: Historical, Descriptive, Anecdotal In Norden's engraving we See at the Southwark end the fortified Bridge Gate, garnished with traitors' heads; between the sixth and seventh piers is a drawbridge, further to secure London against attacks from across the water; and the bridge almost throughout its entire length is lined with buildings, among them the famous Nonsuch House, an enormous wooden pile, four storeys high, brave with gilding, and with cupolas and turrets at each corner, the whole brought from Holland, and fastened together with wooden pegs instead of with nails. It stood upon the seventh pier from the Southwark side, just north of the drawbridge. In the middle of the-bridge stood the chapel of St. Thomas of Canterbury, in two storeys; and under its staircase was buried Peter of Colechurch when, after having held the wardenship of the bridge which he had built, the time came for him to die.
