About this product
Product Information
By 1700, after half a century of relentless expansion, London had overtaken Paris to become the largest - if disputably the finest - city in Europe. A striking feature of this monster city in 1700 was its newness. In September 1666 some three-fifths of the City of London had been destroyed in the Great Fire. The losses were immense - 13,200 houses were burnt to the ground and so were most of the great public buildings, including St Paul's Cathedral. London in the Eighteenth Century details the growth of the city and urban change; the make-up of the Londoner from home and abroad; ways of earning a living from banking to begging; the public pleasures of London and the crime and prostitution that accompanied them; the tightening sinews of power and discipline; and the hesitant beginnings of London democracy.Product Identifiers

Very good condition. Very disappointed by the dismal treatment of the Wesley brothers in the book. A disgrace. Still look forward to reading the book
Very good condition. Very disappointed by the dismal treatment of the Wesley brothers in the book. A disgrace. Still look forward to reading the book when I find time. Why such appalling prejudice against two of the most gifted men that England or Europe has ever known?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
