Excerpt from The City: Or the Physiology of London Business; With Sketches on 'Change, and at the Coffee Houses
The City is a world within itself. Centered in the heart of the metropolis, -with its innumerable capacities for commercial pursuits, it presents at first sight, to a stranger, a most mysterious and unfathomable labyrinth of lanes and alleys, streets and courts, thronged with a bustling multitude, whose various occupations, though uniting in one grand whole, seem to have no direct association with each other.
