eet Monuments, Signs,
Badges, &c.," gives at once variety to the subjects, and a curious
illustration of what was once one of the marked features of the
metropolis. "Interior of a Tower belonging to the wall of London,"
in the premises of Mr. Burt, in the Old Bailey, presents us with a
curious memorial of ancient London in its fortified state; it being
the only vestige of a tower belonging to the wall in its entire
height, and with its original roof existing. The last plate exhibits
some "Old Houses, with the open part of Fleet Ditch, near Field Lane;"
and the letter-press illustration of this plate describes a state of
filth and profligacy which we hope will soon only be known among us as
a thing that _has been_.
