Description
"The metropolis of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
. . . extends from Woolwich and Bow to Fulham and Hammersmith, and from
Highgate to Norwood, including the cities of London and Westminster, with
their liberties, and the towns, parishes, &c. &c. which cover this vast
area. The streets of the city, with the exception of the great thoroughfares,
are for the most part narrow and irregular; but the main lines of traffic
and communication are wide and noble, as are the more recently built parts
of this enormous city."
from Barclay's Complete and Universal English Dictionary, 1842
