I have therefore avoided using more than a very few of the essays which I had previously chosen, and I have used these because they seemed specially suitable for a book which is to be illustrated. Here, the illustrator will be seen collaborating with Leigh Hunt in his endeavour to bring vividly before us those aspects of streets, and shops, and theatres, and manners, which change from generation to generation, gaining, from generation to generation, something of the additional interest of things which already belong to the past. The triviality of yesterday becomes, to the reader of to-day, apart of history.'

Brock, in very nice collectable condition. ***Of interest to scholars and collectors of Leigh Hunt and the illustrations of H. M.
