About this book
John Stow was past seventy when his Survey first appeared in 1598. It describes London street by street and ward by ward, with its churches, monuments, customs and history. Henry B. Wheatley's introduction explains that later editors blended their own words into Stow's, so this edition tries to give the original text, a picture of Elizabethan London, the city of Shakespeare. Stow adds memories from his own life, such as buying milk at the abbey farm for a halfpenny and Thomas Cromwell taking part of his father's garden in Throgmorton Street. Ernest Rhys edited the series that issued this volume.
