For those wishing to know: The first in what would have been a very useful 
series of books to let the good folk of London know who their neighbours 
are.  Kensington in 1863 had many wealthy, titled and well-known 
professional people, and so the series started there.  For example, at 
Palace Green you have William Makepeace Thackeray, whilst at No. 9 
Kensington Gore was the first Marquis of Normanby etc.  There's a short 
biog. of each person too.  Sadly this turned out to be the only book 
published, presumably the firm aborting the project.

All the best,
