The publisher Sir Richard Phillips walks one morning from London out to Kew, and turns every sight along the road into a reflection on history, science, trade, manners, religion and the condition of the people. Proudly limited to home scenery that any reader could follow after him, it becomes a portrait of the western edge of Regency London.
An opinionated Regency ramble that rewards readers curious about London’s history and its suburbs. Download the free EPUB.
