출판사 서평

웨스트민스터 . The Book of Westminster, by Sir Walter Besant and Geraldine
PREFATORY NOTE
A survey of London, a record of the greatest of all cities, that should
preserve her history, her historical and literary associations, her mighty
buildings, past and present, a book that should comprise all that
Londoners love, all that they ought to know of their heritage from the
past―this was the work on which Sir Walter Besant was engaged when
he died.
As he himself said of it: "This work fascinates me more than anything else
I've ever done. Nothing at all like it has ever been attempted before. I've
been walking about London for the last thirty years, and I find something
fresh in it every day."
He had seen one at least of his dreams realized in the People's Palace,
but he was not destined to see this mighty work on London take form.
He died when it was still incomplete. His scheme included several volumes
on the history of London as a whole. These he finished up to the end of
the eighteenth century, and they form a record of the great city practically
unique, and exception[Pg vi]ally interesting, compiled by one who had the
qualities both of novelist and historian, and who knew how to make the
dry bones live. The volume on the eighteenth century, which Sir Walter
called a "very big chapter indeed, and particularly interesting," will shortly
be issued by Messrs. A. and C. Black, who had undertaken the publication
of the Survey.
