Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Municipal Parks, Gardens, and Open Spaces of London: Their History and Associations HE meaning of the title and scope of this book I calls for some explanation, especially When it Will be found that no mention is made of such places as Hyde Park, Regent's Park, or St. James's Park, Which have a right to be considered the most important parks in London. In the first place, the history of these parks has been more than once written, and in the second place it must be pointed out that they are national rather than municipal 'lungs, ' because they are kept up at the expensie of the nation at large, and not by any one municipality. London's/municipal parks and open spaces are those which are maintained by the London County Council at the. Expense of the Metropolitan ratepayers. In addition to the national and municipal places of recreation, there are a number of disused burial-grounds and other small grounds maintained by the various local vestries, Whilst the number is completed by those under the care of Conservators, private bodies and individuals, the most important of Which are Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath, together making a magnificent open space, acres in extent. The Corporation of the City of London also possesses some acres of parks and open spaces which are available for the use of Londoners, but are maintained out of city cash' and the funds derivable from metage on grain. The largest of these is Epping Forest; but, like the majority of the City parks, this is outside the County of London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London's Story The object of this small book is to explain London as a living city. People often say that London is so difficult to understand, and that its government is in such a muddle that no ordinary person can ever hepe to know much about it. That is not true. London is quite simple, if people will only look at it in the right way. The only real excuse for those who do not understand London is that London has never been properly explained to them. In this book I have tried to explain London so that every one can understand it - that is, every one who wants to for there are plenty of people who live and move about in London without ever wondering about its story, its government or its greatness. But I feel sure that most people are interested in the things around them. They like to be told about their Lord Mayor, their Borough Councils, their parks, tramcars and drain-pipes, their water supply and their electricity. For everything has its story. And London itself, as the biggest city in the world, has a story that is really full of interest. When that story is understood, everything in London becomes clear.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Central Park: Photographed, With Descriptions and a Historical Sketch It is necessary here to amend the sketch of the history of the Park, by adding one interesting fact, which was not at hand until after the work had gone to press. This is, that the merit of iirst suggesting this great public work, instead of being of doubtful ownership, belongs to the thoughtful and musical Poet, the practical, clear-headed, and strong-minded Editor, and fearless and thorough-going friend of humanity and freedom, William Cullen Bryant. In a letter from Eng land to The Evening Post, dated June 24, 1845, Mr. Bryant, citing the example of the London Parks, urged forcibly the establishment of a range of parks and public gardens along the central part of the island or elsewhere and afterwards repeatedly discussed and advocated the project in the Post.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parks and Tree-Lined Avenues: Read October 7th, 1891, at the Meeting of the Advance Club of Providence, R. I Lord Beacon says that God Almighty first planted a garden. A statement which will not be doubted in the face of the record. The description of Eden is not so extensive, however, as to serve in planting modern parks. Our parks are extensive tracts of land dedicated to public use, laid out to be pleasant to the eye and to afford recreation in the open air. It is not correct to denominate a small square a park. The parks of Europe were once the pleasure grounds of kings or of the nobility. And it is an astounding fact, that excepting the game of Baccarat, the zenith of pleasure is attained by the aristocracy of England, only by hunting with dogs, inoffensive animals, in the most magnificent forests in the world. It certainly was a memorable May day when Charles the First opened Hyde Park, containing three hundred and ninety acres, to the citizens of London.
