What was talked about in the London coffee-houses? Where could one buy seeds and plants for gardens and window boxes? How could stolen property be recovered in the reign of Edward 1 ? What sort of books were soild in London during the early days of printing? Where could one find a time-table for journeys of country carriers in Stuart times? What happened to Londoners waiting for their houses to be rebuilt after the Great Fire, or when the houses were demolished to make room for the railways? Who was the Blind Beak, and what did he do? How did Victorian Londoners spend their leisure? In this book the authors have drawn of material from diverse and often unpublished authorities, official records, the accounts of London Bridge, the inventory of a draper's goods in the time of Elizabeth 1, letters written to friends in the country, the impressions carried away by foreign visitors. All these have been used in making a picture of London from the earliest times to the formation of the London County Council. The authors have chosen the illustrations with imagination and have made them an integral part of the book. Ref FFF 4.

DESCRIPTION - We have all heard of the Great Fire of 1666, but how many of us know of the Great Stink of 1858? The 'Blind Beak', Bartholomew Fair, public executions, the street vendors of birds' nests, groundsel, and lavender - these and many other curiosities are all described in this intriguing chronicle of the lives of London's inhabitants, ranging in time from pre-Roman days to the formation of the L.C.C. The authors, both distinguished historians, have drawn on varied contemporary sources such as unpublished letters, official documents, cartoons, and advertisements, to present an unusual and entertaining survey. Each of the chapters is linked with the name of a famous Londoner representative of his age, and through the eyes of such as Chaucer, the Chippendales, and Charles Dickens a fascinating composite picture of the metropolis emerges. inventory #16905.
