The following passage is part of the author's poetic introduction:'Greater London! The spread of material London, it has been observed - the London of bricks and mortar and stucco - is becoming a gigantic - one might almost say an appalling - factor in our national existence. Every day it becomes more difficult to say where the limits of the capital have been reached, and at what point the cockney may fairly be said to begin his long-sought ' day in the country.' Every week new building speculations absorb the green fields and hedgerows, and the quiet little village station becomes a suburban junction.
