"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This new book by Bernard Nurse, the distinguished former Librarian of the Society of Antiquaries, has many facets, not all of which are revealed by the title. At face value it provides a survey of the topographical works on paper depicting London up to 1800. Extending from this it gives an interesting overview on the nature, purpose and characteristics of topographical depiction in Britain touching upon the value of topographical records to the historian and how our understanding of that value has changed. The core of the book however consists of a general historical survey of London, based on the prints and drawings included in the book and organised geographically and thematically.
