PREFACE


At this great time in the nation’s history, when changes moral and
material are following each other with such speed that we “know not
what a day may bring forth,” it seems all the more incumbent on us
while we live in the present not to forget the past. Accordingly,
the Committee felt that pictures and drawings of the London of our
ancestors would have exceptional interest, and the present exhibition
is the result.
