Excerpt from Downing Street, Whitehall: Its History and Associations Hen a writer has finished his work and sent all to the press, there is generally in a book of this kind one page yet lacking; that page in which it becomes his grateful duty to acknowledge his obligations to those who have rendered him help. In every case, in the present instance, that acknowledgment has to be made to strangers. To Mr. Henry Higgs, Private Secretary of the Prime Minister. If this book be entitled to any merit, I Shall be most indebted to him for the reward. It was his interest in the history of No. 10, Downing Street, which led to the compiling of this record. To Mr. Walter L. Spiers, Curator of the Soane Museum, for ever-ready technical aid; to Mr. E. Gardner, of Park House, South Hampstead, for access to his well-known and matchless collection of engravings of old London; to Mr. Percy G. Sedgwick, of the London County Council's service.
