LONDON COACHING HOUSES IN 1680. MANY inquiries are made from time to time as to inns in London which have existed at various periods. In a scarce and curious little volume entitled 'The Present State of London,' by Thomas De Laune, published in 1681, there is an interesting list of inns or taverns in London and Southwark at which carriers' carts and coaches called to take up goods and passengers, on different days of the week, for all parts of the country. The vehicles are variously described wagons, coaches, or carriers' carts, and for the greater distances appear to have come in on one day, and gone out on the following ; whilst those from adjacent towns came in and left on the same day. as Some of the most notable houses or those having curious signs are referred to by Mr. Philip Norman in his valuable work on * London Signs and Inscriptions,' 1897. These I have marked with an asterisk. Most of them were in the district now known as "the City," or just outside; one was in Westminster; and those of Southwark I have tabulated by themselves. De Laune's book (or at least my copy of it) has no index, so these inns are not easy to find under their names. The author describes the chapter from which this list is compiled as of all the Carriers, Wagoners, and Stage An Alphabetical Account Coaches that comes [sic] to the several Inns in London, Westminster, and Southwark,' &c., so that in all probability the following names form a tolerably complete list of the hostelries of the metropolis in the latter part of the reign of Charles II. The word The" forming the prefix to the title in every instance except that of Gerrard's Hall, I have omitted for alphabetical con 66 venience. In London. Angel, in St. Giles; behind St. Clements. Bear and Ragged Staff, in Smithfield. Bell-Savage, on Ludgate Hill. Black Horse, near the Mews-Gate. Blossoms Inn, in Lawrence Lane. Blue Boar, in Holborn; in Whitechapel; without Aldgate. *Bolt in Tun, in Fleet St. Bull, in Bishopsgate; in Holborn. Chequer, near Charing Cross; in Holborn. Cock and Dolphin, in Gray's Inn Lane. Cross Keys, in Gracechurch St.; in Whitecross St.; in Wood St. Crown, without Aldgate; in the Haymarket; in Crown and Coach and Horses, in High Holborn. George, in Aldersgate St.; by Holborn Conduit; Green Dragon, in Bishopsgate. Katherine Wheel, without Bishopsgate. King's Arms, on Holborn Bridge, in Leadenhall St. Red Lyon, in Aldersgate St.; in Holborn; in Red Rose, on Holborn Bridge; in Smithfield. Friday St. Spread Eagle, in Gracechurch St. King's Arms, in Barnaby St. Spur. Talbot. *White Hart. White Horse. There is an interesting note on Gerrards Hall in Stow's 'Survey,' under the heading of Bread Street Ward, and the building seems to have escaped the Great Fire. It is also interesting to observe that most, if not all, of the streets named, exist at the present day. I am not sure if Lad Lane does so; but it did so recently as 1831, and is described by Elmes as the first turning on the right in Wood Street, going from Cheapside; it extends to Milk Street." Plumstead. 66 WM. NORMAN. T. L. PEACOCK: CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERIODICALS. THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK, who may be said in his teaching and practice to have been a bundle of inconsistencies, was a frequent contributor to the periodical literature which he always did his best to ridicule and abuse. His activity in this respect has been nearly overlooked, for neither have his articles been sought out and collected, nor, except for a casual remark here and there, has any notice been taken of them. This statement naturally does not apply to The Four Ages of Poetry,' 'Hora Dramaticæ,' and Memoir and Letters of Shelley,' which were reprinted in Cole's edition. Some of Peacock's other articles are mentioned by name in a letter of his addressed to a Mr. L'Estrange, and contained in Cole's ' Biographical Notes.' The following list is derived from this and other sources (the articles reproduced im Cole's edition not being included) :— 1822. The Poetry of Nonnus.'-London Magazine, October, pp. 336-9. 1827. Article on Thomas Moore's 'Epicurean.'— Westminster Review, pp. 351-84. 1830. Article on Thomas Moore's 'Letters and Journals of Lord Byron.'- Westminster Review, April, pp. 269-304. Article on 'Memoirs, Correspondence, and Private Papers of Thomas Jefferson, late President of the United States.'-Westminster Review, October, pp. 312-35. Also in the same number one on Chronicles of London Bridge' (pp. 401-15). 1834. Article on Musical Reminicences,' containing an account of the Italian opera in England from 1773, by the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe.-London and Westminster Review, April to July, pp. 173-87. 1835-6. Article on 'French Comic Romances.' London and Westminster Review, July to January,. pp. 69-84. In the same number one on Bellini (pp. 467-80). The same number also contains an article undoubtedly written by Peacock, on 'The Epicier Physiology of the French' (pp. 355-65), founded on a critique in the Revue Encyclopédique, Etudes Politiques sur l'Epicier.' As this article has been up to the present absolutely unmentioned as one of Peacock's, the reasons for its being his may be given: (1) The subject is a congenial and therefore likely one for him, and the article is entirely written in his style. (2) It has the same initials (M. S. O.) attached to it that the two other articles in the same number of the London and Westminster bear, and under which the 'Hora Dramaticæ appeared in Fraser's Magazine. (3) It contains the same promise to write an article on Paul de Kock which Peacock had made in two other articles in the same journal, and which, although thus thrice made in its pages, he never fulfilled. minster and Foreign Quarterly Review, October to 1849.

This was claimed for Peacock by the late Dr. Garnett. If the latter should be right, this article is certainly the most glaring example that can possibly be adduced for showing Peacock's inconsis-tency. That he should, immediately after his scathing remarks on The Edinburgh |
