Excerpt from In London Town Bookshelves the world over sag under the weight of ponderous volumes fashioned by ge nial wise men who claim to have known London better than Pepys, Thackeray, or Dickens. Mine has been but a passing glance in the crowd - the impressions which might have been gained by any traveller who crossed the Chan nel, hired a hansom at Charing Cross, and lost himself in the throng.
