Description:Excerpt from The Fleet: Its River, Prison and Marriages This book requires none, except a mere statement of its scheme. Time has wrought such changes in this land of ours, and especially in its vast Metropolis, "The Modern Babylon," that the old land-marks are gradually being effaced - and in a few generations would almost be forgotten, were it not that some one noted them, and left their traces for future perusal. All have some little tale to tell; even this little River Fleet, which with its Prison, and its Marriages - are things utterly of the past, entirely swept away, and impossible to resuscitate, except by such a record as this book. I have endeavoured, by searching all available sources of information, to write a trustworthy history of my subject - and, at the same time, make it a pleasant book for the general reader. If I have succeeded in my aim, thanks are due, and must be given, to W. H. Overall, Esq., F.S.A., and Charles Welch, Esq., Librarians to the Corporation of the City of London, whose friendship, and kindness, have enabled me to complete my pleasant task.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
