""The History of Gog and Magog: The Champions of London"" is a book written by John Galt that explores the mythical origins and cultural significance of the two giant statues that stand guard over the City of London. The book delves into the legends and folklore surrounding Gog and Magog, tracing their roots back to ancient Persian and Jewish mythology before examining how they became intertwined with the history and identity of London. Galt explores the various interpretations of the figures, from their role as protectors of the city to their symbolic representation of London's power and influence. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of myth, history, and culture, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of these iconic figures in the heart of London.THE warden of the castle being at his post, on the top of the highest tower, saw the army of Gog and Magog advancing over Cornhill, and instantly sounded an alarm. Humbug, with all his tyrannical qualities, was not deficient in personal courage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
