THE
THACKERAY COUNTRY

By LEWIS MELVILLE

Large Crown 8vo. 3/6 cloth

Containing 32 full-page Illustrations and a Map

“THE THACKERAY COUNTRY” treats of those localities which are of primary interest to those who are acquainted with the life and writings of the great novelist. Mr. Melville deals with Thackeray’s London homes and the salient features and associations of their neighbourhood. He goes with Thackeray to Paris, and follows the course of his travels on the Continent and in America, giving special attention to those places that are made the background of well-known scenes in the novels. He is careful to give all the biographical information connected with Thackeray’s residences from his arrival in England from India at the age of six until his death.

The volume is illustrated with thirty-two full-page plates reproduced from photographs specially taken for the book by Catharine W. Barnes Ward, and a map.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS

“We have here, in fact, just what will give people who do not know their London a new interest in every walk they take, and indicate to those who want more the lines on which their studies may be conducted.”—Times.

“It is scarcely necessary to write any words of commendation when the great knowledge of the editor and the literary charm with which he always writes of London are taken into consideration.”—Pall Mall Gasette.

“The book, and the series of which it is a part, will be welcomed by those who already possess that detailed knowledge of London and its associations in which Sir Walter Besant delighted, and a perusal of its pages by those less fortunate will do much to add to the number of his disciples.”—County Council Times.

ROMANCE OF LONDON

Price 1/6 net

(By post, price 1/9)

PUBLISHERS’ NOTE

The Romance of London, as the title is intended to convey, is a book designed to bring before the reader pictorially, and with interestingly written descriptive matter, the survivals of the London of the Middle Ages, of Tudor times, and of the picturesque seventeenth century.

That these relics are so numerous will surprise many people who have not cared to explore London’s antiquities. How many, for instance, have seen all the Norman buildings in the City? The Keep of the Tower, with its perfectly-preserved Chapel, is the chief of the Norman structures; but besides this there is the grand old Church of St. Bartholomew-the-Great, West Smithfield, the crypt of St. Mary-le-Bow Church in Cheapside, and the newly-discovered Norman portions of the crypt beneath the Guildhall.

The magnificent Norman nave of St. Paul’s which survived the Great Fire of 1666, was unfortunately demolished when the scheme of restoration was abandoned.

The 12 illustrations in colour include Westminster Abbey, The Tower, St. Paul’s, The Temple, Lincoln’s Inn, Cloth Fair, and the Pool of London, and amongst those in black and white are Charterhouse, the old houses in Holborn, details of Westminster Abbey and the Tower, and St. John’s Gateway, Clerkenwell.

For convenience, the Guide is divided into small pocket-books, each dealing with a different side of the country about London for some score of miles.

The ground so traversed falls into three zones:

1. The inner suburbs, as to which there is often little to be told but the best way of getting out of them.

2. The outer suburbs and quasi-independent towns a few miles off, among which may still be pointed out field-paths and patches of rural beauty. This zone, as within easy reach, we have described most fully.

WHERE GREAT MEN LIVED IN LONDON

By G. E. MITTON

Crown 8vo., Cloth. Price 1/6 net

The power of appreciating associations might almost take rank as a sixth sense, it is so keenly developed in some people and entirely lacking in others. The fact that Cromwell lived in this house and that Milton was born in the other, lifts the happy possessors of this sense into another region straightway; the aroma of the past is as perceptible to them as a fine scent or a beautiful scene. To such people the little handbook now published will give great delight. It is divided into two parts, the first containing the names of the great dead who once inhabited London and peopled its streets, with information regarding their houses; and the other giving a list of the streets in London wherein once lived any men or women whose names have not died with them. It is of great interest to see what distinguished inhabitants once occupied the streets wherein one lives or where one’s friends live. As a reference book this little volume will be indispensable to many, but it is much more than a mere reference book.
