Excerpt from Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London, Vol. 2: With Historical and Descriptive Accounts of Each Edifice IN placing the second and concluding Volume of Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London before the reader, the Editor is aware, that although the work has reached its destined extent, (and he is convinced will be found to be fully equal in every respect to the original promises, and to the first Specimens, ) yet the great increase of new buildings, and also the deep interest that has been so rationally excited in the public mind respecting the many and splendid improvements now in progress in the British Metropolis, would not only justify but almost demand an extension of the plan. A third or even a fourth Volume might be well and usefully occupied in elucidating the remaining Public Buildings of London; and many Architects and Connoisseurs have expressed their wishes to see the work continued to such an extent. Authors, Artists, and Booksellers, have a right, however, to expect a fair remuneration for. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
