Illustrations of the Site and Neighbourhood of the New Post Office of St. Martin's-le-Grand, 1830; published in London by Smalles and Tuck, 138 Aldersgate Street. A fascinating account of the history of the area and includes a steel engraving of Williams' New Post Office and Coffee House Tavern & Hotel (on the site of the old Mourning Bush Tavern), showing the new Post Office in the background, a hand-coloured plan of the new building showing the streets and land which were formerly on the site. There is also an appendix concerning the Mourning Bust Tavern with further illustrations and plans. The book is with the original, card cover which exhibits some soiling but still in a very good state of preservation. A remarkable source of information and a valuable reference for the postal historian
