London In The Nineteenth Century by Jerry White
London in the nineteenth century was the greatest city mankind had ever seen. This book explores London's history over the nineteenth century. It shows the destruction of old London and the city's unparalleled suburban expansion. It also depicts how London absorbed people from all over Britain, from Europe and the Empire.
