Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tallis's Illustrated London; In Commemoration of the Great Exhibition of All Nations in 1851, Vol. 1: Forming a Complete Guide to the British Metropolis and Its Environs London, ever varying in its features, ever increasing in extent, affords to the historian a theme of which the novelty can never be wholly exhausted. That S'rown, maitland, pennant, and other chroniclers have traced the rise and progress of this mighty city, constitutes no suffi cient reason why it should not again and again be made the subject of historical research, and minute description. On the contrary, the interest of a topic recomme the authorities just named, will be heightened by any additional elucidation of which it may be found suscep tible. Few readers will complain of satiety of detail, when the annals of a capital, which may be called the queen of cities, are submitted to them in a form hitherto unattempted, and at a price calculated to insure universal circulation. The publishers are ambitious of rendering this work unquestionably the most profusely illustrated, the most comprehensive, and the cheapest History of London ever issued from the press.
