Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Very good condition, no markings. A study of the lost rivers of London, many of which are still flowing underground as part of the city's sewer system. The courses of the lost rivers are traced, and an analysis is given of the role that these rivers have played in the creation and development of London, the uses which have been made of them, and their relationship to the people of London. The thought of a 'lost' river running beneath a road or house produces interest or consternation. A feature once on the land surface, a symbol of the rural age of London, is somehow more indicative of what is hidden beneath the bricks of the city than any other. When The Lost Rivers of London first appeared in 1962 it was immediately welcomed by scholars and general readers alike. It remains the only comprehensive study of those water courses, now buried, which sometimes make themselves evident in heavy rains or at the dig of an unwary builder's earth-remover. Many have become part of London's complex sewer system; others still run sweetly enough to have recreational use. In the past they have formed boundaries, dictated the course of roads and influenced the location of industry. In these ways and others they have contributed to the history of London.
