Excerpt from A Group of Londoners It is a charming characteristic of C. C. R. That he has always something new to show you usually an Elizabethan or Jacobean ms., but as often as not a well known book annotated by a not less well known reader - even S. T. C. Himself. Discoveries to you and me so epoch-making are the warp and woof of his life. By an inde finable law, the rarities gravitate to his already over-congested treasure - house. Once he hunted them: now they hunt him. As the years before him diminish, the tasks set by his editorial ambi tion increase, and he grudges every minute spent away from his desk. The bookseller is gradually and steadily transmuting to author. To us, to - day, this is nothing; but how the wits at Will's Coffee House would have played with the idea, in those days when most of the jokes were at book sellers' expense! London has many secondhand booksellers, but none like C. C. R. He alone 1s author and poet too. There is C. S., who has known all the scholars of the past fifty years and could make a volume of reminiscences of bookworms that should be a classic; yet he does not write, but trains canaries. There is N. O. S., to whom every goose is a swan; but he does not write. There is H. S. M., whose catalogues are in themselves treasures; but he does not write. C. C. R. Is unique.

Excerpt from A Londoner's London Preface, he said, always put him in mind of Hamlet's exclamation to the tardy player, Leave thy damnable faces, and begin 1 I delay to begin only to explain that the London of these pages is not the measureless town of the guide-books: that London on which a hundred and fifty years ago Horace Walpole began a book, only to faint and fail: that London which, still earlier, had been called a county covered with houses, a description which has passed from metaphor to fact. The Londoner's true London is smaller. It is the sum of his own tracks in the maze, the town in which, by hap, he has most often eaten his bread and thought his thoughts. Samuel Butler remarks in his published note-books that he was more in Fetter Lane than in any other street of London, and that Lincoln's Inn Fields, the British Museum, the Strand, Fleet Street, and the Embank ment came next. This is a very small London, to which my own adds the City, the northern suburbs, and those more national regions of Westminster and the Parks which may be called Everyman's. Although.

Excerpt from London's Story The object of this small book is to explain London as a living city. People often say that London is so difficult to understand, and that its government is in such a muddle that no ordinary person can ever hepe to know much about it. That is not true. London is quite simple, if people will only look at it in the right way. The only real excuse for those who do not understand London is that London has never been properly explained to them. In this book I have tried to explain London so that every one can understand it - that is, every one who wants to for there are plenty of people who live and move about in London without ever wondering about its story, its government or its greatness. But I feel sure that most people are interested in the things around them. They like to be told about their Lord Mayor, their Borough Councils, their parks, tramcars and drain-pipes, their water supply and their electricity. For everything has its story. And London itself, as the biggest city in the world, has a story that is really full of interest. When that story is understood, everything in London becomes clear.

Excerpt from Fifty Years of a Londoner's Life If this book and its author make the same appeal to the public as they do to me, then this certainly will be one of the books of the year. As to the author, I have known him for nearly a quarter of a century; he was once my colleague, and a more energetic, competent, trained journalist I have never met, nor a more loyal and steadfast friend. His book is an epitome of the side of journalistic work to which he has devoted most of his professional life - though not all, for Mr Hibbert belongs to the same old-fashioned school of journalists as myself, who had to go through the severe mill, and to turn their hands to everything that turned up, from an execution to a grand opera. But the subject that has attracted his attention more than any other is the stage. For many years he spent some hours of every night of the year in some form or other of a theatre or a music hall; I believe he is one of the men who would prefer, if stranded in a small town, going to a penny gaff rather than remain amid the futile gossip of a smoke-room. This passion for the play is due to an inexhaustible interest in the many forms of art which the stage presents, and to an equally inexhaustible interest in the multiform and often thrilling drama that goes on within a play - namely, the men and women behind the scenes.

Excerpt from Londoner's Log-Book: 1901 1902 IT was a mild winter evening; a little fog still hanging about, but vanquished by the cheerful lamps, and the voice of the muffin-bell was just heard at intervals - a genial sound that calls up visions of trim and happy hearths. If we could only so contrive our lives as to go into the country for the first note of the nightingale, and return to town for the first note of the muffin-bell, existence, it is humbly presumed, might be more enjoyable.

Excerpt from In London's Heart IT Was eight o'clock in the evening, and a thin haze which had hung over London through the October afternoon had lifted, and the night was bright and exhilarating. The working day was over. The shop assistants, glad to escape from their monotonous toil, were pouring into the streets. Streams of pleasure seekers were walking toward the great centre of theatrical entertainment, and smart little broughams, 'with ladies and gentlemen in evening dress, were dash ing along as fast as the plague of omnibuses would allow them. Outside one of the most fashionable restaurants in Piccadilly, the big foreigner in uniform who has taken the place of the English commissionaire was preparing to receive company. He had been lolling in an easy attitude against the door-post, reading a pink extra special until the clock struck eight, but now he had begun to assume an important, not to say dictatorial, attitude toward the crawling hansoms and four-wheel ers which seemed to him to be blocking the way.

Excerpt from The Tower of London Daily Telegraph, and they are reprinted with the kind permission of its proprietors. My purpose was a simple one, to endeavour to interest Londoners in their own possession. I have stepped into no controversies, still less have I attempted any contribution towards settling them. If I am told that everything here said is familiar, then I shall be glad, for that will indicate a deeper knowledge by London citizens of their historical buildings and the matchless history of their city than has been disclosed to my own experience.
