Book Description
Excerpt from A Catalogue of Maps, Plans, and Views of London: Westminster Southwark Thus in Braun's Map of 1572 (No. 13), republished in Belleforest's "Cosmography," London is described as "Ennoblie pour le commerce de plusieurs Nations, bien peuplee de Maisons, ornee de Temples, magnifique en Palais, illustree pour les bons esprits y nouris." In the "Plan de la Ville de Londres" (No. 77), published 1700, it is stated, "Etat present de Londres, 115,884 families, 1,200,000 ames;" and it adds that the yearly consumption of beer is 1,500,000 barrels, of oxen 67,000, of sheep 675,000. In the Map No. 84, published 1724, the Customs Duties of London are estimated at 300,000 l. per annum; and it states that 800 hackney coaches are allowed to ply, giving the rates for hire of them. Some of the Maps give views of the principal buildings; Ogilby's large Map (No. 58), which is 7 feet 7 inches long and 5 feet high, "London surveyed by Wm. Morgan" published 1677, gives a series of illustrations of great interest, especially one of Whitehall Palace, and at the bottom of the sheet is a "Prospect of London and Westminster." Various Plans also represent important properties, such as the Greye Friars, St. Bartholomew's Priory and Hospital, Gresham College, the Bank, the Goring Estate where Buckingham Palace stands, Tart Hall, the Manor of Eburie, the Grosvenor Estates, the Bailiwick of St. James's, and the Pest-house Craven Hill Estate: the production of this last plan by my father in the Court of Chancery, in 1858, is believed to have decided the question of the ownership of the property. The Views of London are so numerous that, though many of them are of great interest, it is difficult to particularise them.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
