PUBLISHEDTRUSLOVE & SHIRLEY, 143, OXFORD STREET, W. 1890. |
DESCRIPTIONPreface: The wide area
occupied by the districts of Marylebone and St. Pancras contains rich
and extensive materials for a book of local history. Indeed it would be
impossible to put a detailed and exhaustive history of these most
interesting places in a volume of the size which is now before the
reader. Such a work would require, not one, but many such volumes. To
tell the truth, the author has not attempted anything of the nature of
an exhaustive history. He has endeavoured to make a selection from the
large mass of material at his disposal, using such parts of it as
seemed likely to be generally and permanently acceptable to his readers
; and, while no important branch of the subject has been omitted
intentionally, many branches have been treated with brevity in
consequence of the obvious limitations of space in a volume of this
scope and size, and some, upon which one would desire to linger awhile,
have, for the same reason, been condensed and modified. It may be
explained here that only the southern portion of St. Pancras has been
included in this book, the great historical interest which centres in
and immediately around the old church, demanding too much space to
allow of any account of the more northern portions. The accounts of the
Royal Toxophilite Society and the Foundling Hospital are, to some
extent, based upon accounts which have recently appeared in "
Bloomsbury and St. Giles's," by the present writer.
