the distant prospect of that part of the metropolis, as well as the architecture of its public and private structures; and has removed from the largest and most wealthy parish in Britain, the disgrace of having a parish church little superior to a barn.

Other churches are distinguished for curious monuments, as St. Andrew Undershaft, Leadenhall Street, for that of Stow, the historian; St. Helen, of Sir Thomas Gresham; St. Giles, Cripplegate, where Milton, Fox, the martyrologist, and Speed, the historian, were buried. In the Temple Church are interred the celebrated lawyers, Plowden, Seldon, and Lord Thurlow.

Interesting Particulars respecting St. Pancras.

THE church and churchyard dedicated to St. Pancras, have been long celebrated as the burial place of such Roman Catholics as die in London and its vicinity; and many interesting inscriptions to the memory of distinguished foreigners may well employ a contemplative hour to the reflecting moralist. Here may be seen the monument of the celebrated Mary Woolstonecroft, afterwards Mrs. Godwin, author of the "Rights of Woman," and of other publications and here were lately interred the remains of the gallant Sir Thomas Picton, who was slain in the memorable battle of Waterloo.

In one part of this extensive cemetery the stranger may view the tomb of the brave, and

once celebrated, but unfortunate Paoli; an exile from his native, island Corsica, in consequence of the annihilation of her liberties by the tyranny of France; and, in another part, the graves of an archbishop (of Narbonne), and seven bishops, driven from France in a more recent period of her history, by a native of that very island, who visited with tenfold fury the tents of its proud oppressor! The archbishop's grave, and the spots where lie the ashes of six of his episcopalian brethren, are marked only by common headstones; in no degree distinguished from the graves of peasants, except by their names and ecclesiastical rank. Many of the heads of ancient families of that devoted country, and of her famed marshals, lie near them, in the same undistinguished manner: mortifying monuments of the instability of human great

ness!

Here also lie the remains of Mr. Edwards, author of a treatise on perspective; Mr. John Walker, author of a pronouncing dictionary; Cavallo, an esteemed writer on philosophical subjects; and the celebrated chevalier D'Eon, whose death took place in 1810, at the age of eighty-three, when the controversy respecting his sex was decided, in direct opposition to the celebrated determination before Lord Mansfield on a policy of insurance. The chevalier was a scholar of no mean talents, and distinguished himself by writings on finance.
