T is hoped that in the voluminous literature which London has gathered around it this Book about London, in its two parts, may find a place of its own. It is not intended as a guide-book, nor as a topographical indicator. It is narrative rather than descriptive. As a rule, people do not care much for minute descriptions of places or buildings; what they chiefly want to know is, the special interest that attaches to them — historical, romantic, literary, or artistic.
