Sir John Summersons study of Georgian architecture in London was first published in 1945 and was described in the Architectural Review as probably the most interesting and the most valuable historical work AngloSaxon scholarship has produced during the war years. Since then it has been reprinted several times and has, in this new edition, been carefully revised by the author, who says, I have made no attempt to change it from what it set out to be an outline sketch of the subject from a particular and persona angle. The stuff within the outline, however, has been subjected to rigorous scrutiny in the light of present knowledge and with access to sources not available to me at the start.The book approaches the study of London in an original way. It shows the capital as a pattern of bricks and mortar produced by the wealth, taste and industry of a great age. The method has resulted in an intricate blend of biography, topography and criticism. Statesman, connoisseurs, merchants, architects, jerrybuilders, are among the characters in the story and the great figures in English architecture are seen in the context of practical building to which they properly belong.
