About this book
London anecdotes arranged by the year of the author's life, from 1766 to 1833, make up John Thomas Smith's A Book for a Rainy Day. Smith, who also wrote Nollekens and His Times, describes the contents as scattered biographical papers gathered into a mixed dish.
The list of illustrations points to subjects such as Vauxhall, London beggars and match boys, the Royal Cockpit, Dr. Johnson, Mrs. Siddons, Benjamin West and Christie's auction room. Wilfred Whitten edited this edition, with notes, in 1905.
