Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of London The exhaustless interest and endless suggestiveness of Ancient and Modern London, have induced the author to collect in these volumes some of its more curious characteristics. His object has been more especially to present to the reader who enjoys the Past without underrating the Present, a collection of strange stories, scenes, adventures, and vicissitudes, associated with London. Romance, we know, has been accused of corrupting the truth of history but the romantic character which the following Narratives possess, has not been gained by a sacrifice of truth; since our Romance consists of marvellous incidents, verifying the saying that Truth is stranger than Fiction.
