• The second volume of this history of the City of London looks at the years 1890 to 1914. At the time the City still retained some very Dickensian characteristics but even so, some things would still be recognised today. David Kynaston vividly brings to life the Stock Exchange and the City, which at the end of 1914 has no idea of the dramatic changes that were soon to take place. 16pp b/w plates.
