which had been _Prior's_, and which _exactly faces Charles Street_."

_Richmond Buildings, Soho._--Horne Tooke resided here in 1775. He
afterwards removed to Frith Street.

_Clare Market_, originally called _New Market_, was established about
the year 1660, by Lord Clare.

"The city and my lord had a great lawsuit, which lasted many years,
to the great expence of the city; but from the inequity of the
times the city and my lord agreed, and gave it up to the lord; and
now it is become one of the greatest markets in the adjacent parts;
and from the success of this noble lord, they have got several
charters for the erecting of several others since the year 1660; as
that of St. James, by the Earl of St. Alban's; Bloomsbury, by the
Earl of Southampton; Brook Market, by the Lord Brook; Hungerford
Market; Newport Market; besides the Hay Market, New Charingcross,
and that at Petty France at Westminster, with their Mayfair in the
fields behind Piccadilly."--_Harl. MS_. 5900.

_London House Yard._--Here was formerly the town house of the Bishop of
London, which, being consumed in the great fire, the house in Aldersgate
Street, formerly called _Petre House_, was rented for the town residence
of the bishop, since which it obtained the title of _London House_.
