AUTHOR George CLINCH (M: 1860 - 1921 Feb 2 or 5)

PUBLISHED
TRUSLOVE & SHIRLEY, 143, OXFORD STREET, W. 1890.
DESCRIPTION
Preface: The wide area occupied by the districts of Marylebone and St. Pancras contains rich and extensive materials for a book of local history. Indeed it would be impossible to put a detailed and exhaustive history of these most interesting places in a volume of the size which is now before the reader. Such a work would require, not one, but many such volumes. To tell the truth, the author has not attempted anything of the nature of an exhaustive history. He has endeavoured to make a selection from the large mass of material at his disposal, using such parts of it as seemed likely to be generally and permanently acceptable to his readers ; and, while no important branch of the subject has been omitted intentionally, many branches have been treated with brevity in consequence of the obvious limitations of space in a volume of this scope and size, and some, upon which one would desire to linger awhile, have, for the same reason, been condensed and modified. It may be explained here that only the southern portion of St. Pancras has been included in this book, the great historical interest which centres in and immediately around the old church, demanding too much space to allow of any account of the more northern portions. The accounts of the Royal Toxophilite Society and the Foundling Hospital are, to some extent, based upon accounts which have recently appeared in " Bloomsbury and St. Giles's," by the present writer.
