About this book
Leigh Hunt is the author of The Town, subtitled Its Memorable Characters and Events. The advertisement says that readers will find an account of London, partly topographical and historical, but chiefly recalling the memories of remarkable characters and events associated with its streets between St. Paul's and St. James's. The text says that in Charles the First's reign the suburbs of Westminster and Spitalfields were greatly enlarged and the foundation of Covent Garden was commenced.
A passage on the theatre says that plays of the time began as early as they did before the civil wars, and that people rode out in their coaches to take the air when they were over. The text also says that Charles the First spent the three last days of his life in a palace, occupying himself in devotion.
