London of the Future (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from London of the Future<br><br>The production of this book has come about in more or less an accidental way and is due almost entirely to the untiring exertions and enthusiasm of members of The London Society who have given their time and special knowledge in individual chapters to the different problems with which London is faced and have suggested their possible solution. The writers of each article may be con sidered as experts in their subject and it is hoped that as a result some general idea may be gained by the reader of what in the opinion of The London Society are some of the many pressing needs of London. On the other hand though it will be found that there is a general agreement amongst the authors of the various chapters it must be understood that there has been no endeavour to make the views expressed therein those of The London Society as a whole for it will be evident that it would be impossible in the first place to obtain such adherence and secondly that even had this been possible it would have tended to dullness and monotony if the conclusions of each writer had been fixed beforehand.<br><br>As a result each writer has had a free hand and is responsible for the opinions he has expressed; but on the other hand it is thought that there will not be found much with which the Society as a whole is not in accord.<br><br>There will no doubt be some readers who are unfamiliar with the objects aim and work of The London Society and it may therefore be useful brie?y to state them here.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
