Summary "Twice Round the Clock; or, The Hours of the Day and Night in London" by George Augustus Sala is a collection of essays that captures various facets of London life during the mid-19th century. The book explores the city's rhythms, detailing the activities and characters that inhabit its streets throughout a full 24-hour cycle. The vivid descriptions invite readers to journey through early mornings at bustling markets, the significance of the newspaper industry, and the vibrant scenes of Covent Garden. At the start of the work, the author engages readers with a personal invitation to experience London as they never have before, urging them to join in on an exciting exploration that spans both day and night. The opening segment introduces the reader to a market at 4:00 a.m. at Billingsgate Market, highlighting the city's bustling atmosphere as vendors prepare for business and detailing the early-morning cacophony of church bells. This introduction sets a lively and vivid tone, showcasing Sala's keen observational skills and rich prose as he describes the sounds, sights, and social interactions of early London, and hints at the array of diverse experiences that will unfold in the chapters to come.
