Description:"This work is not to be considered as a guide-book, but as a series of sketches in 'poetic prose' of various parts of London, in which while perfect accuracy is preserved, the dullness of a mere itinerary is avoided; in which London of the present is sketched from constant personal observation, and London of the past from the rich historical and legendary lore that exists regarding it, and in which the thoughts that arise in 'a free mind and loving heart,' from a contemplation of the various objects and scenes descried, are expressed in eloquent and forcible language. Nor must the work be considered as exhaustive of the subject. The places and scenes chosen for 'Picturesque Sketches' are chiefly in the eastern or older part of London."--Miller, "Advertisement" (xv-xvi)Illustrated ethnography of 1850s London based on Thomas Miller's series of articles by the same name for the newspaper, The Illustrated London News from 1848-1851.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
