_The Nag's Head, Cheapside._--A view of this tavern is preserved in a
print of the entry of Mary de Medici, when she paid a visit to her
son-in-law and daughter, the unfortunate Charles I. and his queen.

_St. Paul's Alley._--

"Whereas, the yearly meeting of the name of Adam hath of late,
through the deficiency of the last stewards, been neglected,
these are to give notice to all gentlemen, and others that are
of that name, that, at William Adams', commonly called 'The
Northern Alehouse,' in _St. Paul's Alley_, in St. Paul's Church
Yard, there will be a weekly meeting, every Monday night, of our
namesakes, between the hours of 6 and 8 of the clock in the
evening, in order to choose stewards to revive our antient and
annual feast."--_Domestic Intelligence_, 1681.

_St. Paul's Churchyard._--

"In St. Paul's Church Yard were formerly many shops where music
and musical instruments were sold, for which, at this time, no
better reason can be given than that the service at that
Cathedral drew together, twice a day, all the lovers of music in
London; not to mention that the chairmen were wont to assemble
there, where they were met by their friends and acquaintance."--
_Sir John Hawkins' History of Music_, vol. v. p. 108.

_The French Change, Soho._--A place so called in the reign of Queen
Anne. Gough, in a MS. note, now before us, thought it stood on the site
of the present bazaar.
