Walks in London - Vol. I - Augustus John Cuthbert Hare

This is Augustus John Hare's 1878 text, "Walks in London." "Walks in London" offers the reader a wonderful insight into nineteenth-century London by painting an authentic and powerful picture of the city based on a number of strolls throughout its streets. This volume deals chiefly with the City, and the second volume concentrates on Westminster and the West End. The chapters of this book include: 'The Strand'; 'The Inns of Court'; 'By Fleet Street to St. Paul's'; 'St Paul's and its Surroundings'; 'Smithfield, Clerkenwell, and Canonbury'; 'The Tower and its Surroundings', etcetera. Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (1834 - 1903) was an English writer who also compiled numerous other travel books including "Walks in Rome" and "Wanderings in Spain." This book was first published in 1878, and is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition, complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
