An article on this page describes the size, beauty and variety of Greater London—the most interesting, tho most magnificent city in the world, so it is ranked by the author of the book under review. The above illustrations depict some of. the features of this wonderful area. No. 2is a view of London taken from Westminster, with the Houses of Parliament in the foreground, the London County Hall in the middle distance, and the dome of St. Paul's on the horizon. With the sun on its grey buildings, as in this picture, London can be lovely. No. 1 illustrates the changes that are taking place all the time in London. The King and Queen are driving through the new Regent Street Quadrant, which was completed a few years ago. In No. 4we are back in old historic London again. The Irish Guards are on parade at the Tower of London. Nos. 3 and 5 illustrate the stretches of beautiful open country that lie on or about the outskirts of London. The deer are in Richmond Park, 2250 acres, only ten miles from Waterloo Station. Henley (No. 3) is much . further away, thirty-six miles from Paddington, but it is included in trips from London, and the sylvan beauty of the landscape is typical of much of the countryside that lies within easy distance of the city proper.
