Excerpt from Without the Limelight: Theatrical Life as It IsThere are few things about which the public have so many false impressions as they have about the stage. They see it under circumstances which do not help them to form a correctjudgment; they read about it only from the outsider's point of view. The inner life Of the stage is under stood only by those who are intimately associated with it. The ordinary novel and the ordinary story dealing with theatrical life are, as a rule, more creditable to the imagination Of the writers than to their study of facts.

Excerpt from Living London, Vol. 2: Its Work and Its Play, Its Humour and Its Pathos, Its Sights and Its Scenes; Section IHome Secretary as his superior, and in that sense is not supreme, but within certain limits he is practically an independent auto cratic ruler. He has great statu tory powers, and it would take pages to give them in any detail. He really holds all London in the hollow of his hand. The streets and thoroughfares, the routes and arteries through the town, are subject to his regulations,-so is every driver of any kind of vehicle, from the state coach of an ambassador to the automobile car. The 'busmen and the cabmen come to him for their licences, and to be tested in their skill in driving and knowledge of the streets; and one of the most curious sights is to see the police examiner at work, seated with his pupil on the box of a prehistoric 'bus, or old-fashioned waggonette, starting on the test journey, when practical proof Of com petence must be given.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Coachman's Club, or Tales Told Out of SchoolI think it was a piece of poetry I wrote about our coach that first gave me a taste for pen and ink.We used to carry the same passengers pretty Often in the season, and Old Jim Dolby, who was our driver, and one Of the best whips on the road, having taken a fancy to me from the first, and always saying, Come along, John, when he went in to have a drink when we were changing horses, I got to be well known to most Of them, and, what with tips and one thing and the other, I did very well.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
