For those wishing to know: apologies, I transcribed this in 2015 and 
forgot I'd done it - memory not that good!  Rev. John Stoughton was a 
famous and well-liked minister in Kensington, England, when the 1851 Great 
Exhibition was to be staged there, bringing people from all over the 
world.  Stoughton wrote the book for the Religious Tract Society, it being 
partly history, partly guide book, and partly religious.  Unlike many of 
the other "guides" this is much more imaginative, and somewhat 
sermon-like.

All the best,
David,
