London Town, Past and Present
By W. W. HUTCHINGS
Lavishly Illustrated with Hundreds oj Reproductions from Old Prints, Draw-
ings and Photographs. Two Volumes. Quarto, Cloth, $6.00 per set
No work of greater importance, or one more likely to hold a permanent place, than " Lon-
don Town, Past and Present," has ever been published. It limits itself to no one period of
time or to no one part of the capital, and discusses no abstruse or antiquarian questions. It
recounts in vivid language all the important events from Roman times to the present day.
Mr. Ford Madox Hueffer, in a clever and suggestive chapter, essays to lift a corner of the
veil behind which is hidden the future of London, and presents some ingenious speculations on
that theme.

PerSonaij( ?nn30uth Shore takes us at once into the very midst of Charles Dickens's large and distinguished circle of friends. The
"stic n h 1 l'1C ^rca' novelist—strong, original and fascinating—attracted the interest of all the famous people of the literary,
Us ,ue in .niat'c' w°rld of his day. Many of them were among his most intimate companions, and Mr. Shore's pages reveal to
Pression which Dickens's personality made upon his contemporaries. The opinions of these cultured men and women
throw invaluable light upon lesser-known traits of the novelist's disposition.
The book will be read by all those who, knowing and loving Dickens, the novelist,
arc eager to know more of Dickens the man. Interesting stories about "Boz" arc to be
found on nearly every page, and there is scarcely a name famous in the Victorian era
which we do not find associated here with that of Charles Dickens.
Some of the illustrations which add so much lo the pleasure of the reader have
never before been reproduced. The work in every way is a notable addition to
I Hckensiana.
