Lights And Shadows Of London Life Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of London Life, Vol. 1 of 2 I Am Englishman, born and bred; and yet I suppose scarce any Foreigner who comes at this time for the World's Fair to London knows less about that world-famous city than I. England has been a far land to me these many years, but I have not loved it less on that account; nay more, one must go to school, they say, to appreciate home, and I have been to a hard school on the other side the world without one holiday. For the last score of years and longer, I have walked By the long wash of Australasian seas Far off, and held my head to other stars, And breathed in converse seasons.
