Samenvatting
Excerpt from The Ghosts of Fleet Street
My object in writing this little book on Fleet Street was twofold.
First, it was my privilege to provide a commentary on Mr. Joseph Pike's charming drawings of old Fleet Street landmarks. Secondly, it was my hope to provide a handy guide for intelligent sightseers. To this end I have painted one or two rude pictures of the life of the street in ancient times, and thereafter have strictly followed a fixed itinerary, pausing on the journey to describe such objects as appeared to me to provide the chiefest interest or amusement.
The reader, therefore, is invited to see Fleet Street, book in hand, by the author's itinerary. To start at Temple Bar and visit all objects of interest in their turns on the south side; on reaching Ludgate Circus to return on the north side in the same leisurely manner.
If he will do so he will find that from Chapter IV onwards the book provides its own index, every relevant detail in the earlier general chapters being accorded reference in its proper place. In no sense is this little book an exhaustive history of Fleet Street.
