The 8 "extra" plates have small vignettes of the signboards which the publisher describes as the added 72 figures offered here in this copy. / "In these modern days the signboard is a very unimportant object: it was not always so. At a time when but few persons could read and write house-signs were indispensable in city life. As education spread they were less needed; and when in the last century the system of numbering houses was introduced and every thoroughfare had its name painted at the beginning and end they were no longer a positive necessity—their original value was gone and they lingered on not by reason of their usefulness but as instances of the decorative humour of our ancestors or as advertisements of established reputation and business success. For the names of many of our streets we are indebted to the sign of the old inn or public-house which frequently was the first building in the street – commonly enough suggesting its erection or at least a few houses by way of commencement. The huge "London Directory" contains the names of hundreds of streets in the metropolis which derived their titles from taverns or public-houses in the immediate neighbourhood. As material for the etymology of the names of persons and places the various old signs may be studied with advantage. In many other ways the historic importance of house-signs could be shown." / "Anecdotes and historical facts have been introduced with a double view; first as authentic proofs of the existence and age of the sign; secondly in the hope that they may afford variety and entertainment. They will call up many a picture of the olden time; many a trait of bygone manners and customs—old shops and residents old modes of transacting business in short much that is now extinct and obsolete. There is a peculiar pleasure in pondering over these old houses and picturing them to ourselves as again inhabited by the busy tenants of former years; in meeting the great names of history in the hours of relaxation in calling up the scenes which must have been often witnessed in the haunt of the pleasure-seeker—the tavern with its noisy company the coffee-house with its politicians andvii smart beaux; and on the other hand the quiet unpretending shop of the ancient bookseller filled with the monuments of departed minds. Such scraps of history may help to picture this old London as it appeared during the last three centuries. For the contemplative mind there is some charm even in getting at the names and occupations of the former inmates of the houses now only remembered by their signs; in tracing by means of these house decorations their modes of thought or their ideas of humour and in rescuing from oblivion a few little anecdotes and minor facts of history connected with the house before which those signs swung in the air." – Preface.
