Description

Porto-Bello: Or A Plan For The Improvement Of The Port And City Of London is a book written by Frederick Morton Eden in 1798. The book proposes a plan for the development and improvement of the port and city of London, focusing on the area of Porto-Bello. Eden's plan includes suggestions for the construction of new docks, the improvement of existing ones, and the creation of new roads and buildings. The book also discusses the economic benefits of these improvements, including increased trade and revenue for the city. Eden's vision for Porto-Bello is one of modernity and efficiency, and his ideas would go on to influence the development of London's port and infrastructure in the years to come. The book is a fascinating insight into the urban planning and economic thinking of the late 18th century, and remains an important historical document today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
