{"product_id":"2940149183395","title":"London","description":"This book gives an accurate description of the history of London, from Roman times all the way through George the Second.  It also contains many beautiful illustrations that are sure to captivate you.  See the preface below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the following chapters it has been my endeavor to present pictures of the City of London—instantaneous photographs, showing the streets, the buildings, and the citizens at work and at play. Above all, the citizens: with their daily life in the streets, in the shops, in the churches, and in the houses; the merchant in the quays and on 'Change; the shopkeeper of Cheapside; the priests and the monks and the friars; the shouting of those who sell; the laughter and singing of those who feast and drink; the ringing of the bells; the dragging of the criminal to the pillory; the Riding of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen; the river with its boats and barges; the cheerful sound of pipe and tabor; the stage with its tumblers and its rope-dancers; the 'prentices with their clubs; the evening dance in the streets. I want my pictures to show all these things. The history of London has been undertaken by many writers; the presentment of the city and the people from age to age has never yet, I believe, been attempted.","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075511664880,"sku":"2940149183395","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149183395_p0.jpg?v=1763713604","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149183395","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
