PREFACE.

The only History of Hyde Park, at all worthy of the name, is Vol. I. of“The Story of the London Parks,” by Jacob Larwood. But, its author says,definitely, “What happened in Hyde Park subsequently to 1825, approachestoo near to contemporary history to be told in these pages.” This (forHyde Park has a history since then), added to the inaccuracies andimperfections of the book, has induced me to write a History of HydePark from Domesday Book to Date.
