Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm, viii, 288 pp, ills (some colour), facs., maps ; From the introduction: "In praising London Grenade followed a traditional mode, to which he contributed a distinctive international perspective. He also innovated by drawing on recent popular publications concerning British history and was influenced by a well-known account of Paris. Moreover, in visualising the city and organising his material, he was among the first (if the not the first) of European writers whose approach was shaped by the use of recent maps. For Grenade himself, the most important of the singularities of London was the kindness and charity of its Citizens, who had welcomed and taken in the strangers and refugees, acts that would stand them in good stead at the Last Judgement.
