Excerpt from The George Inn, Southwark: A Survival of the Old Coaching Days To-day there exists something to remind us of most of them; either in the shape of the entrance to the one-time coach or court-yard, or that of a more or less modern house on the same site bearing the same name as the original. But in the case of The George a very substantial portion is still to be seen as in the olden days. It is indeed the only example of the Old galleried coaching inn of the the past now existing in London. Although the structure is not complete (part having been demolished in 1889 sufficient remains to justify the proud boast that it is an unspoiled survival of old London, worthy of preservation as the heritage of a romantic age. The atmosphere of romance, indeed, which has always surrounded the many old coaching inns of Southwark in the past is still re ected in the George of the present day. It is not only the last of its race there, but the last to remain in London. Little wonder, then, that it is a favourite of all who, like Mr. Hardcastle, love everything that's old old friends, old times, Old manners, old books, old wine, for all these desirable things may be found in association with the George Inn to-day. Set in an historic neighbourhood associated with Shakespeare and the players and, in more modern times, with Dickens and his characters, it has become the rendezvous of a continual ow of literary and antiquarian enthusiasts who never miss an opportunity for a visit to its enticing Old-world rooms and exterior.

Excerpt from The Delights of Coaching: By an Old Whip Indeed, what other sport can stand beside it? As the coachman looks down from the box, holding well in control the four blood horses, checking the least of their caprices, giving full play to their strength, what general regarding the raging battle, what states man compelling the votes of his party, has a sense of personal authority like his? At his side sits a friend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Coaches and Coaching It rolls with a prouder ease than any other vehicle. It is full of cushions and comfort; elegantly coloured inside and out; rich, yet neat; light and rapid, yet substantial. The horses seem proud to draw it. The fat and fair-wigged coach man lends his sounding lash, his arm only in action and that but little, his body well set with its own weight. The footman, in the pride of his non chalanee, holding by the straps behind, and glancing down sideways betwixt his cocked-hat and neckcloth, stands swinging from east to west upon his springy toes.

This work, which unlike most of the books on the subject written at the time has retained its popularity, covers in great detail the major coaching roads to Bath, Exeter, Portsmouth, Brighton, Dover, York and Holyhead. The author considered the roads and the coaching inns from the viewpoint of the traveller, and did not confine himself to any particular era. The result is a fascinating series of descriptions of the social life which passes between the province and London.
