Excerpt from Kensington: Picturesque HistoricalI have purposely avoided detailed accounts of the Museums and other institutions of South Kensington, as they are in all London Guide Books, but some critical remarks have been taken from Mr. Moncure Conway's volume on the subject. The late Mr. Croker's Walk from London to Ful/zam is a mine of accurate information, somewhat marred by its editor, and Mr. L'estrange's City of Palaces contains a useful account of Chelsea under a fanciful title. The extensive collections of Mr. M'henry, relating to Holland House, have afforded me much useful information, for which I beg to thank him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
