For those wishing to know: a children's book from 1828 with around 80
wood-cuts illustrating parts of London. There's a short description of
each place, although the choice is somewhat unusual: Saint Paul's is fine,
but "The Drowned Boy"? Darton was the compiler and probably wrote most of
the text, which isn't really that good.
All the best,
David,
England, raining and cold
