OLD HOUSES, SHIP YARD, TEMPLE BAR, circa 1761, from a plate
in Wilkinson’s _Londina Illustrata_ 4

THE LORD MAYOR’S SHOW. From the picture by Hogarth 19

TEMPLE BAR, 1746, copied from an undated print published soon
after the execution of the rebel adherents of the young
Pretender. The view is surrounded by an emblematic framework,
and contains representations of the heads of Townley and
Fletcher, remarkable as the last so exposed; they remained
there till 1772 23

ST. CLEMENT’S CHURCH AND THE STRAND IN 1753, from a print by
I. Maurer 25

TWO VIEWS OF ARUNDEL HOUSE, 1646, after Hollar. These views,
unique of their kind, are particularly valuable for the
clear idea they give of a noble London mansion of the period.
Arundel House retains many ancient features, particularly in
its dining-hall, which, with the brick residence for the
noble owner, is the only dignified portion of the building.
The rest has the character of an inn-yard--a mere collection
of ill-connected outhouses and stabling. The shed with the
tall square window in the roof was the depository of the
famous collection of pictures and antiques made by the
renowned Earl, part of which still forms the Arundel
Collection at Oxford 40, 41

PENN’S HOUSE, NORFOLK STREET, 1749, from a view by J. Buck.
The view is taken from the river, looking up Norfolk Street
to a range of old houses, still standing, in the Strand.
Penn’s house was the last on the west side of the street (to
the spectator’s left), overlooking the water 55

SOMERSET HOUSE FROM THE RIVER, 1746, from an engraving by I.
Knyff. Upon a barge moored in the river is seen the famous
coffee-house known as “The Folly,” which, originally used as
a musical summer-house, ended in being the resort of depravity 56

STRAND FRONT OF SOMERSET HOUSE, 1777, from a large engraving
after I. Moss 80

JACOB TONSON’S BOOK-SHOP, 1742, from an etching by Benoist.
The shop of this famous bibliopole was opposite Catherine
Street. The view is obtained from the background of the
print representing a burlesque procession of Masons, got up
by some humourist in ridicule of the craft 82

OLD HOUSES IN THE STRAND, 1742, copied from the same print as
the preceding view. These houses stood on the site of the
present Wellington Street 104

YORK STAIRS AND SURROUNDING BUILDINGS, circa 1745, after an
original drawing by Canaletti in the British Museum. This is
one of the few interesting views of Old London sketched by
Canaletti during his short stay in England. It comprises the
famous water-gate designed by Inigo Jones, and the tall
wooden tower of the York Buildings Water Company. The large
mansion behind this (at the south-west corner of Buckingham
Street) was that inhabited by Pepys from 1684, and in which
he entertained the members of the Royal Society during his
presidency. The house at the opposite corner (seen above the
trees) is that in which the Czar Peter the Great resided for
some time, when he visited England for instruction in
shipbuilding 144

THE KING’S MEWS, 1750, from a print by I. Maurer. This
building, erected in 1732 at the expense of King George II.,
was pulled down in 1830. In the foreground of this view the
King is represented returning to his carriage after
inspecting his horses 238

BARRACK AND OLD HOUSES on the site of Trafalgar Square in
1826, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt. The view is
taken from St. Martin’s Church, looking toward Pall Mall;
the building in the distance, to the left, is the College of
Physicians 239

OLD SLAUGHTER’S COFFEE-HOUSE, 1826, from an original sketch
by F. W. Fairholt 260

This was the _third_ theatre, succeeding Garrick’s. It was
built by Henry Holland, opened March 12, 1794, and burnt down
Feb. 24, 1809. It was never properly finished on the side
toward Catherine Street, where this view was taken 347

Fairholt 349

LINCOLN’S INN FIELDS THEATRE IN 1821, from an original sketch
by F. W. Fairholt 387

THE BLACK JACK, Portsmouth Street, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, from
an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt. This public-house was
the resort of the actors from the theatre, and among them Joe
Miller, who was buried in the graveyard close by, where the
hospital now stands. The house was also frequented by Jack
Sheppard, and was sometimes termed “The Jump,” from the
circumstance of his having once jumped from one of the
first-floor windows to escape from officers of justice 441
