Specialist historians have long known the usefulness of this 1869
book, now more easily available for anyone interested in the
history of London, its buildings, and its religious and social
world, in an enhanced edition. William Beck was a Quaker architect,
and Frederick Ball grew up in the rambling old Devonshire House
building, centre of British Quakerism at the time. Their survey of
London Quaker history was part of a mid-19th century awakening of
Friends to the significance of their own past. This facsimile
reprint contains a new introduction, by Simon Dixon PhD, author of
the thesis "Quaker Communities in London 1667-c1714," and Quaker
writer and editor Peter Daniels. Where possible, illustrations have
been inserted of the buildings described in the book, and there is
a comprehensive new index.
