About this book

A tour of London between St. Paul's and St. James's, the district once called simply the Town, told through the people and events tied to its streets. Leigh Hunt begins with the city's names and its Roman, Saxon and Norman past, then takes up St. Paul's Cathedral with Paul's Cross and Wren, the booksellers of the churchyard and Paternoster Row, Blackfriars and Shakespeare's playhouse, and Fleet Street with Milton and Chatterton. The edition of 1889 prints the whole text with forty-five illustrations; Hunt's account first appeared in 1848.
