Folio, 1310 SEXBY'S (Lieut.-Col.) The MUNICIPAL PARKS, Gardens and Open 1899 The title of this work will fully explain ts contents. It is an attempt to give an account of the Municipal Parks and Open Spaces, i.e., those which are under the control of the London County Council. From early times to the present day, the story of the well-known Royal Parks has been the subject of many volumes; but hitherto no account has been given of these less familiar places, which, in many instances, possess quite as important and fascinating a history. A short description of each place is given, with an account of its distinguishing features, the steps which led to its acquisition, and its previous history, compiled from ancient and modern sources. The latter feature is very fully dealt with, and will be found to contain much valuable information for the historian and the antiquary. In addition to the ordinary local and country topographies, the author has had the advantage of consulting many private and legal documents which have not been made public before, and which add considerable interest to the subject in hand. Its many illustrations constitute one of the most attractive features of the work. It contains numerous landscapes of the parks and open spaces, and a number of sketches of picturesque nooks and corners, as well as many scenes which have been specially photographed for reproduction here. To these have been added many illustrations of historical places and scenes connected with or near to the Parks, some of which have now vanished; there are also many facsimiles of old prints and drawings, as well as plans and maps of much local value. To make the history complete and to facilitate reference, a copious index is included. An extended introduction, tracing the growth of London's Municipal Parks and Open Spaces to their present large acreage, precedes the book, and in an appendix is given the list of all the places in London available for public recreation, with particulars as to their size and the arrangements for their maintenance. 1341 TAYLOR (Isaac) The History of the Alphabet. 2 vols., 8vo., new edition, cloth 1899 An account of the origin and development of Letters; Vol. I.
