the effect?--Would a tower, surrounded by a railing, as the monument, and
surmounted by a statue of George III. (looking with surprise to see what
his son had done), or Canning, or Byron, be a proper sort of monument as a
tribute to their memories; and to be erected in the centre of the Regent's
Park? Oh! what a prospect would its summit command! Would not
magnificent baths for males and females, erected on either side of
Waterloo Place, and to be supplied from the new fountain, be a great
addition to the beauty and comfort of this great city.

These additions, alterations, and improvements, ought to be made now; and
I doubt not, in the course of time, all warehouses will be removed from
the banks of the Thames, above Blackfriars' Bridge, and that streets will
run by the waterside as at Dublin. Also the time will come when the houses
round St. Paul's will be pulled down and rebuilt in the Grecian style of
architecture to correspond with the cathedral (the wonder of England), and
be re-erected at a much greater distance from it.

I would also ask, "should not the chimney pots upon the palaces in Regent
Street, &c. be of a slate colour?--Should not all tiles be painted of the
same colour? (slate.)--Should not the names of streets be more
particularly attended to?"
