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_."
