The inscriptions on the pedestal record the destruction and restoration of the city; and down to the year 1831 there was also an inscription untruthfully attributing the fire to "the treachery and malice of the popish faction;" this has been effaced, and to it Pope's couplet alluded: "Where London's column, pointing to the skies, Like a tall bully lifts its head and lies."
Without pausing, he went on to read: "I found Mr. Alderman Machin, the hero of the Five Towns and the proprietor and initiator of London's newest and most up-to-date and most intellectual theatre, surrounded by a complicated apparatus of telephones and typewriters in his managerial room at the Regent. He received me very courteously.
One of the officers from the other side of the table, smiled queerly. "London! My God!" he muttered. "There is still a London, I suppose? Savoy and Carlton going still? Pall Mall where it was?" "And very much as it was," Thomson assured him. "London's wonderfully unchanged. You been out long?" "September the second," was the cheerful reply.
Then the Bishop of London's apparitor came and railed on the other bishops, and said that he, nor no such as he, shall have jurisdiction within his Lord's precincts. Then was the Bishop of London sent for to make answer; but he was sick and might not come.
Why do they only write poetry about the country? I could turn every lyric cry into Cockney. "'My heart leaps up when I behold A sky-sign in the sky, "as I observed in a volume which is too little read, founded on the older English poets.

There were at one time sixty scholars in it, and twenty young Negroes were annually sent out from it well instructed in the English language, and the Christian faith. Mr.
How and by what means may the school bring about a more intelligent choice of tangible and intangible things? What hint may the teacher of geography receive from the brief description of London's points of interest? Compare a vitalized school with the panorama of London. To what extent must individual differences be recognized by the teacher in the recitation? in discipline?
Is there a man amongst all London's millions brave enough to tell the naked truth about the vice and crime, the misery and meanness, the hypocrisies and shames of the great, rich, heathen city? Were such a man to arise amongst us and voice the awful truth, what would his reception be? How would he fare at the hands of the Press, and the Public and the Church? As London is, so is England.
To direct him by finger-posts would look rather queer; and just as queer in him to be knocking at every door on his route, like London's city guest, the king, at Temple-Bar. Now, of all these things and many, many more, my family continually complained. At last my wife came out with her sweeping proposition in toto to abolish the chimney.
