Excerpt from Ins and Outs of London Pages I have not endeavored to produce anything new. The majority of the objects themselves, upon which I have written, are old - and the accounts we have of them are old - but, as I have before stated, the theme is exhaustless. I have principally endeavored to describe persons and things as I found them - nothing more. The pleasure of occupying many leisure hours has repaid me for all trouble taken with my notes and thus, with a clear conscience and without apology, I cast the drop into the fathomless sea of books.

Excerpt from Unnoticed London Bond Street, because they are obsessed by the idea that to see London requires some occult store of knowledge and energy, and their eyes are sealed to the interest and beauty that lie around their path. Finally there are people like the old lady who, when she heard I was writing a book about old London, asked with astonishment, Is there anything old left in London? I hasten to add that I have not tried in the following pages to tell of every interesting place or even of all there is of interest in the places visited, - only enough, I hope, to make people go and see for themselves and have the pleasure of discovering the rest. I am not afraid that if they once go to the Chapter House they will miss any of its beauties: my dread is lest they fail to go there, from the vision of a plethora of things they think they have no time to see. For I want more than anything else to prick the curiosity of the travellers up and down the streets of the city who miss so much pleasure that they might have so easily, because they are not alive to all the interesting and un expected things that wait for their coming just round the corner.
