    London, thou comprehensive word!
    What joy thy streets and squares afford!
    And think not thy admirer rallies
    If he should add, thy "lanes and allies."
    P. Egan, Tom and Jerry.

    "The old City of Westminster proper, with A its venerable Abbey, and its gloomy and narrow streets, once the residence of peers, courtiers, and poets, constitutes perhaps the most interesting district of the great metropolis."
