Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of the London Parks As Sir Edward Carey retained his keepership till after the accession of King James, it will here be the place to cast a retrospective glance at the condition of the Park in the reign of good Queen Bess. In Nevell's time, in 1570, forty acres of land attached to the Park, and lying in the parish of Knightsbridge, were railed in, enclosed, and added to it. No cattle were allowed to enter this enclosure, as it was reserved for the deer to graze in, and the grass growing within it was to be mown for hay, on which to feed the deer in winter. The exact locality of these forty acres is not stated, but it is not improbable that it was the very fence which was pulled down by the Londoners on their Lammas crusade in I 592.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Municipal Parks, Gardens, and Open Spaces of London: Their History and Associations HE meaning of the title and scope of this book I calls for some explanation, especially When it Will be found that no mention is made of such places as Hyde Park, Regent's Park, or St. James's Park, Which have a right to be considered the most important parks in London. In the first place, the history of these parks has been more than once written, and in the second place it must be pointed out that they are national rather than municipal 'lungs, ' because they are kept up at the expensie of the nation at large, and not by any one municipality. London's/municipal parks and open spaces are those which are maintained by the London County Council at the. Expense of the Metropolitan ratepayers. In addition to the national and municipal places of recreation, there are a number of disused burial-grounds and other small grounds maintained by the various local vestries, Whilst the number is completed by those under the care of Conservators, private bodies and individuals, the most important of Which are Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath, together making a magnificent open space, acres in extent. The Corporation of the City of London also possesses some acres of parks and open spaces which are available for the use of Londoners, but are maintained out of city cash' and the funds derivable from metage on grain. The largest of these is Epping Forest; but, like the majority of the City parks, this is outside the County of London.

Book Description
Excerpt from The London Pleasure Gardens of the Eighteenth Century The principal sources of information consulted are named in the notes and in a section at the end of each notice, and, wherever_practicable, a list has been added of the most interesting views of the various gardens. The Introduction contains a brief sketch of some of the main characteristics of the pleasure resorts described in the volume, and it is only necessary here to add that even our long list of sixty-four gardens does not by any means exhaust the outdoor resources of the eighteenth-century Londoner, who had also his Fairs, and his Parks, and his arenas for rough sport, like Hockley-in-the - Hole. But these subjects have already found their chroniclers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Parks and Gardens of Paris, Considered in Relation to the Wants of Other Cities and of the Public and Private Gardens: Being Notes on a Study of Paris Gardens It is scarcely necessary to show that a clean and ordered city is better than an ugly and filthy one, but it may be well to consider that from the lowest point of view it is the interest Of even the poorest tradesman in London to help forward bold measures for its improvement. Whatever the fortunes of our country in the future, nobody can doubt that the English race will form the most numerous of civilised peoples, nor that the city where Shakespeare and Milton wrote will be holiday-ground to millions of English-speaking people besides those that inhabit it. The attractions Of London to strangers are really greater than those Of any other city that exists, but our total want Of plan, or Of any wise provision calculated to make locomotion pleasant or even possible throughout London, and the filthy and depressing aspect of the narrow streets, effectually drive away thousands of people from America and our vast colonies only too anxious to stay in London were it made possible to them. It is a common occurrence for Americans to run the gauntlet of Fleet Street and the Strand, and judging the whole town by their experience of a few narrow and greasy thoroughfares, to escape with all speed to pleasanter places. In Paris superb avenues may be seen Often leading to nothing in London many important points of interest are practically unapproachable even to those who know the town. Of course we cannot cut down our Fleet Streets or our Strands, but we could at much less cost than that of similar improvements in Paris drive a series of noble roads through the wretched shanties that cover a good half of London, so that it would be possible to get some clear and comprehensive idea of its plan, its suburbs, its parks - its noblest treasure Of all, its ship-cities, the river below the bridges, its buildings, and its commerce.
