_Gwynn's London and Westminster._--Mr. Thomas Frederick Hunt, in his
_Exemplars of Tudor Architecture_, 4to. London, 1830, in a note at p.
23., alludes to _London and Westminster improved, by John Gywnn,
London_, 1766, 4to., and has this remark:

"It is a singular fact, that in this work John Gwynn pointed out
almost all the designs for the improvement of London, which have
been _devised_ by the civil and military architects of the
present day."

And Mr. Hunt concludes by observing,, that--

"This discovery was made by the _Literary Gazette_."

Will you permit me, through the medium of your useful publication, to
solicit information of the number and date of the _Literary Gazette_
which recalled public attention to this very remarkable fact?
