the preliminary meeting we find the names of Sir Humphrey Davy, Sir
Francis Chantrey, Sir Thomas Lawrence, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Walter
Scott, Thomas Moore and Faraday. Theodore Hook was one of the most

At the corner of Pall Mall East and Waterloo Place is the United Service
Club built by Nash. It was instituted after the Battle of Waterloo, and
was at first at the corner of Charles Street, on the site of the Junior
Club of the same name.

The Guards' Monument, in Waterloo Place, was put up in 1859 in memory of
the Crimea. Three figures of guardsmen--Grenadier, Coldstream, and
Fusilier--in full marching uniform, stand round a granite pedestal, on
which are inscribed the names of the famous Crimean battles; a pile of
Russian guns actually brought from Sebastopol completes the group.

The Church of St. Philip, on the west side of Lower Regent Street, is a
quaint building with Doric portico and curious little cupola, the latter

Lightfoot, said to have been married to King George III. when Prince of
