In this volume an attempt has been made to present in a series of striking episodical 

 narratives the principal events in London history, and some of the more striking 

 aspects of London life. Full particulars are given of plots and conspiracies, for- 

 geries and murders, executions and hair-breadth escapes ; and many favourite old 

 stories, not easily accessible now, are brought forward in a new dress, with all the 

 light of recent research thrown upon them.

The Streets of London : 



An Alphabetical Index to the principal Streets, Squares, Parks, and 

 Thoroughfares, with their Associations Historical, Traditional, Social, 

 and Literary. Crown 8vo. 35. 6d. 



This work is the result of very extensive labour, and offers, it is believed, a com- 

 pleter view than has before been attempted of the diverse associations which lend so 

 profound an interest to the Streets of London. It contains more than a thousand 

 succinct references to remarkable persons, incidents, and scenes, with illustrative 

 anecdotes and full explanations gathered from a vast number of authentic sources.

"A storjr of pure adventure, full of incident, and related with much smoothness
