The rapacious Puritans, of course, did not suffer
any portion of the church-goods to escape their
sacrilegious and itching palms, if convertible into
money, so we read--

NOTES UPON CUNNINGHAM'S HANDBOOK FOR LONDON.

_The Bagnio in Long Acre._--Mr. Cunningham mentions the Queen's Bagnio
in Long Acre. Query, was this the same as the Duke of York's Bagnio? S.
Haworth published, in a small 12mo. volume, without date, "A Description
of the Duke of York's Bagnio, in Long Acre, and of the Mineral Bath and
new Spaw thereunto belonging."

_Tavistock Street, Covent Garden._--Richard Leveridge, the celebrated
singer, after his retirement from the stage, kept a tavern in this
street. Here he brought out "A Collection of Songs, with the Music, by
Mr. Leveridge. In two volumes. London, Engrav'd and Printed for the
Author in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, 1727." The frontispiece was
designed and engraved by Hogarth.

_Duke Street, Westminster._--Miss Hawkins, in her _Anecdotes_, p. 186.,
speaking of Lady Lucy Meyrick, says, "On quitting her husband's family,
she came to reside in Duke Street, Westminster, and lived in that house
which had been _Prior's_, and which _exactly faces Charles Street_."
