Our knowledge of the situation of the city is what we know of the earliest Londoners, the men of the dim ancient ages who made their settlement on the roadway of the Thames. The Thames valley stretches between the hills of Hertfordshire on the north and the North Downs on the south. The channel of the river must once have been both broader and straighter than it is at present; and it flowed through a marsh which at high tide was flooded. On either side it had tributary streams. The Westbourne, from the slopes north of Hyde Park, followed a path suggested by the Serpentine, and reached the Thames by way of the district now Belgravia. The course of the Tyburn is indicated by the pond in St. James's Park, and near its mouth it formed the island of Thorney, the site of Westminster Abbey. The Fleet or the Holburn had its source in the slopes of Hampstead and Highgate, and crossed modern Fleet Street and Holborn: in the twelfth century it was navigable at least as far as Fleet Street. Walbrook cut the city in two, roughly along the line of the street which has its name; and the river Lea flowed on the outskirts of the site of greater London.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of London Here can be no doubt that our interest in the dim past is increased the more we are able to read into the dry documents before us the human character of the actors. As long as these actors are only names to us we seem to be walking in a world Of shadows, but when we can realise them as beings like ourselves with the same feelings and aspirations, although governed by other conditions Of life, all is changed, and we take the keenest interest in attempting to understand circum stances so different from those under which we live.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making of London The value of tradition and custom as element-s of history is persistently ignored when the institutions or early conditions of our own country are concerned. They are admitted as valuable aids in the understanding of the history of ancient Rome or ancient Athens, of any of the Italic or Greek cities or centres of civiliza tion. I claim the same value for them in the history of London. They exist, and their existence means something. My interpretation of their meaning is guided by historical or archaeological facts, and I claim that this interpretation should have a hearing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of London, Vol. 2 of 2 Thorney, according to a well qualified authority, ' was 470 yards long and 370 broad, and was washed by the Thames on the east; by a rivulet which ran down College Street on the south by a streamlet which crossed King Street on the north; and by a moat called the Long Ditch, which united the two streams and ran along the line of Prince's and Delahay Streets. Stone walls de fended the whole precinct, pierced by handsome gates, one of which was in King Street, one near New Palace Yard, one opening on Tothill Street,1 and one in College Street where stood the abbey mill. Bridges crossed the brooks, and are said to exist still, but far beneath the present streets, for Thorney has been raised about nine feet, on the average, above its ancient level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of London There are many books about London, and I have used them so freely, that the preparation of this addition to their number has been to some extent a work of abridgment and selection rather than one of research or original expression. In writing about the London of Shakespeare, I have made excerpts from the gossipy little volume by Edwin Goadby in referring to Sir Richard Whittington, I have depended on the recent concise and excellent life of that worthy by Mr. Walter Besant, a biography which has transformed the great Lord Mayor from a shadow of tradition into a definite personage in endeavoring to picture the old 'prentice boys, I have quoted from the Fortunes of Nigel, believing that as far as the background is concerned, Scott's story is more graphic than any other account of these demonstrative young citizens, and at the same time historically accurate in speak ing of London as it was during the reigns of Charles the First and Charles the Second, I have dipped into Macaulay's splendid History; and in relation to the Plague, I have done little more than condense the picturesque Journal of Daniel Defoe.

'The streets, wherever one turns, whisper a thousand things of the past: the churches contain the ashes of those great men who fought in the long struggle for liberty at home, and carried the flag of enterprise abroad; the companies tell of trade regulated for the good of the craftsman; the Lord Mayor himself, with his medieval array and his medieval officers, is to me a Historic Monument which ought never to he removed.'
