Side 24 - And to be grave exceeds all power of face. I sit with sad civility, I read With honest anguish and an aching head, And drop at last, but in unwilling ears, This saving counsel,
Side 89 - We were almost out of hope, when an honest man, who was at work, directed us to the next ground, adjoining to a pond. There we found what we sought, about three-quarters of a mile north of Montague House, and 500 yards east of Tottenham Court Road. The steps are of the size of a large human foot, about three inches deep, and lie nearly from north-east to south-west. We counted only seventy-six ; but we were not exact in counting. The place where one or both the brothers are supposed to have fallen...

In the struggle, the sedan-chair was overset with us in it.
Side 24 - To Westminster; in the way meeting many milkmaids with their garlands upon their pails, dancing with a fiddler before them ; and saw pretty Nelly standing at her lodgings' door in Drurylane in her smock-sleeves and bodice, looking upon one ; she seemed a mighty pretty creature."— Pepys.
Side 89 - We sought for near half an hour in vain. We could find no steps at all within a quarter of a mile, no, nor half a mile, north of Montague House. We were almost out of hope, when an honest man who was at work directed us to the next ground, adjoining to a pond. There we found what we sought...
Side 4 - We took one coach, two coachmen, and four horses, And merrily from London made our courses, We wheel'd the top of the heavy hill call'd Holborn, (Up which hath been full many a sinful soul borne,) And so along we jolted past St.
Side 21 - I went also to see the building beginning near St. Giles's, where seven streets make a star from a Doric pillar placed in the middle of a circular area ; said to be built by Mr.
