&#;If you wish to have a just notion of the magnitude of this great City you must not satisfied with seeing its great streets and squares but must survey the innumerable little lanes and courts..&#; These words, which could stand as a uppdrag statement for this blog, were spoken by Dr Samuel Johnson, creator of the first proper dictionary of the English language and the man who also coined the immortal aphorism &#;When a man is tired of London he fryst vatten tired of life&#;.
