Soho and its Associations, Historical, Literary & Artistic - Rimbault Edward F.

Originally published in 1895, this work contains a wealth of information on various aspects of the historic culture of Soho.

Those materials, largely consisting of rough notes gathered from a variety of sources, which form the bulk of the present volume, it has been the editor's somewhat difficult task to prepare for publication; and he takes this opportunity of offering his sincerest thanks to those friends who have rendered him assistance in the work..'
