entire. One of them was planted by the late earl. The inclosed fields, adjoining to the pleasure grounds, contain about thirty acres. Hornsey great woods, held by the carl of Mansfield under the bishop of London, have been lately added to the inclosures. Few noblemen's seats have been. raised in a more charming situation.

The parish CHURCH and churchyard, dedicated to St.. Pancras, have been long noted as the burial place for such Roman Catholics as die in London and its vicinity; almost every stone exhibiting a cross, and the initials R. I. P. (Requiescat in Pace-Let him (or her) rest in peace) which initials are always used by the Catholics on their sepulchral monuments. "I have heard it assigned," says Mr. Lysons," by some persons of that persuasion, as a reason for this preference to Pancras as a burial place, that before the late convulsions in that country, masses. were said in a church in the south of France, dedicated to the same saint, for the souls of the deceased interred at St. Pancras in England!" Within the church, on the south wall, among other memorials, is the monument of SAMUEL COOPER, Esq. the famous miniature painter, in the reign of Charles I. and II. The churchyard was enlarged in 1793, by the addition of a large piece of ground to the south-east, in which are buried the famous Obadiah Walker, and Abraham Woodhead, writers in favour of popery during the reign of James II.; Mrs. Godwin (the celebrated Mary Wolstonecroft) author of the Rights of Woman, and of other publications; Edward Walpole, Esq. a poetical writer; James Leoni, the architect; Peter Van Bleeck, the painter; Woollet, the engraver; Abraham Langford, auctioneer and dramatic writer; count Haslang; Stephen Paxton, professor of music; baron De Wenzel, oculist; Timothy Cunningham, Esq. editor of several law tracts. Here were also interred without memorials, John Ernest Grabe, D. D. Jeremiah Collier, eminent writers; Edward Ward, author of the London Spy, &c. Simon Francis Ravenet, the engraver; Peter Pasqualini, an eminent musician, who first brought the violencello into.

fashion: besides the above, this cemetery contains monu ments of many of the French emigrant nobility, and persons of high distinction.

Near the churchyard is a mineral spring, formerly of much resort, under the name of PANCRAS WELLS.

We return to the New Road by the BRILL, which the learned Dr. Stukeley asserted, upon what authority we cannot ascertain, was a camp of Cæsar, and supposed it to have extended five hundred paces by four hundred, including a small moated site to the south of Pancras church, and another to the north. Mr. Lyson's disputes the probability of a camp in such a situation, and supposes that the moated areas were the sites of the vicarage and rectory house, surveyed in 1251.

Turning to the left, we arrive at PENTONVILLE, pleasantly situated to the south-west of Islington. The estate was raised into a town by Henry Penton, Esq. M. P. for Winchester, and letter carrier to his majesty. Although it joins Islington, it is in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell; and, when that parish church was rebuilt by an act of parliament, an elegant chapel of ease in Pentonville was made. parochial. The paintings in this chapel are beautiful; the structure cost five thousand pounds, and has belonging to it a spacious burial ground. There is another chapel at the back of Chapel Street, called Eden Chapel.

The inhabitants of this place are chiefly merchants and principal tradesmen of London.

This site was within memory occupied by Dobney's Bowling Green, and fields to the road side; the only row which has stood for any considerable time is Queen's Row, formed at first as workshops, an organ manufactory, &c. The whole town has risen in the space of thirty years; the late Dr. De Valengin's house in Hermes Street, having been almost the first built on the spot.

WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE, is so called from the stone building near it, which formerly supplied the Charter House with water. A pipe of the water still exists, and conveys water to the late Dr. De Valinger's house. White
