The Preface

     What has been for so long most earnestly desired by all People of this Nation, for the universal Use of City, Town and Country, in the way of Trade and Business, I may say, if ever any Book yet was Multum in parvo, this small Treatise, for its concise Description of the largest City in Europe, with several other necessary Subjects, may justly challenge the motto. I have read of some Cities in Asia and Africk of 70, 80, 90 Miles in Circumference; but then comparing the Proximity or Closeness of the buildings in London, and its Suburbs and Liberties, with the great Vacuities of large Courts and Gardens, both behind and betwixt the Houses of what are called Great Cities beyond Sea, it may be said to be the greatest and most inhabited City in the World.
     Greek and Latin historians give us most pompous Relations of the vast extent of Babylon, and other eastern cities; and Nineveh, for all its Spaciousness, is by way of Excellency, call'd, in Scripture, That great City; but yet London is abundantly larger: For to take the Description of every Place in it, and Places contiguous or adjacent thereto, requires some weeks; whereas Jonah was (without taking Notice how long he might stay in each Street, to preach Repentance to the wicked Ninevites) but three Days in travelling its Bounds: Besides, I must observe that the cities of London and Westminster, with their Suburbs and Liberties, and Southwark, cannot be less than 25 Miles in Circumference; which Spot contains about 70,000 Dwelling-Houses; and therefore much larger than Paris, Madrid, Vienna, or Constantinople; so that there is no Occasion to fortify it within Stone Walls, Bulwarks, and Towers; for as its inhabitants are computed to be about 1,500,000 souls, among which are above 100,000 men fit to bear arms, they are able to give a Field Battle to the greatest Monarch or Potentate on earth: Nay, was London now, as Rome and Carthage did before in three Punic Wars, stand in Competition with any other City for universal Monarchy, or to be Mistress of the whole globe, the English would undoubtedly win the glorious Prize, and Crown Britannia with fresh Lawrels.
     As I said above, a great many Days were spent to take an exact survey of this City, and all Places about it, the like whereof was never performed before, in shewing where every Street, Lane, Court, Alley, Yard, Green, Close, Square, or any other place, by what Name soever call'd, is situated; for our Maps, or Prospects of London, Westminster, and Southwark, made more for ornament than use, do not describe a fourth part of the Places contain'd in 'em: Moreover, was a map 30 Foot long, and 20 deep to be projected, yet it would not comprehend the whole Town to an exact scale of feet; which is the least Denomination that can well be made use of in such Mathematical Designs. But suppose a very large map could be drawn, still the Inconveniency would be such, that the Inspector must have a magnifying Glass to read what he looks for; and then also may he pore long enough before he can find the Place sought for, without such a Book as this, to direct in what part of the Town it lies: For tho' there be certain Rules in Geography for finding out Cities, Towns, or Villages, though a man was never at 'em, by knowing the Longitudes and Latitudes thereof; yet in the other Projection above mentioned, Places cannot be found out, without knowing their Scite by such a Guide or Directory here offer'd you, for Service as well as Pleasure.
     Again, as it is many Years since these maps of London were made, they must be now most imperfect, if we do but consider, such additional buildings have been joined to the Suburbs and Liberties of London and Westminster, that, but together, are not much inferior to the circuit of Canterbury or Exeter, Winchester, or Carlisle, nor of any other city in England or Scotland, so not decipher'd in those Poliographical Pieces.
     Now in this book, which every man of Business ought to make his Pocket-Companion, there is no Place, great or small, in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, or the borough of Southwark, which extend themselves over no small Tract of Middlesex and Surrey, even to the counties of Kent and Essex, but what are set so plain, in demonstrating their Situation by some Hall, College, School, noted House, or some other publick Edifice, that a meer Stranger may easily go to it without asking the way. As, suppose a Stranger at Whitechapel was to go to Angel Court at Westminster, but perhaps knows not what part of the City it lies; why then looking for the place in this book, he finds it is in Long Ditch; and if he is ignorant of that Place also, he must further search this guide or directory, which is Alphabetically digested, which will show him that it is at Story's Gate at St. James's Park: Thus one Place directing to another, he finds out that he knows, and so goes more readily to that where business requires his Attendance. But observe, some places are called Great, some Little, some Old, and some New, as great Tower Street, Little Tower Street, Old Bond Street, New Bond Street; however, I have sometimes omitted Adjectives Great, where a Street is universally known; therefore, if you find not the places you look for under the Head you search, have no Regard to the Word Great, but have Recourse to the Street itself; as for example, if you would look for Great Queen Street in Drury Lane, you will not find it under the letter G, but Q; and so of some few more.
     There is no Place which (the best of my Knowledge) I have escap'd; excepting Thorough-fairs with no Tenements in them; or here and there a small Ally which has no Name; or some backward Place, which now, thro' time, or other Casualties, is come to Desolation, and has at this Day nothing but Ruins, to show it was once the Possession of poor Inhabitants.
     Also the design of this Piece is to shew People how to spell and write proper their superscriptions on letters; for a bad Hand and wrong Orthography, awful spelling, a Fault too incident to many Men, as well as Women in general, have caus'd the Miscarriage of many Letters; which is not only a Loss to the Crown, as the General and Penny-post Offices are a branch of the Royal Revenue; but may also prove a great Detriment to the Writer, as well as the Person wrote to. But yet let a Man right never so well, his Letter may miscarry by not punctually observing in what Part of this Great Town the place lies in, to which he directs it; for some People are so ignorant, especially in the Country, as to think London, Westminster, and Southwark, is all London, because contiguous to one another; which is a grand Mistake; for if you should send a Letter to a Friend in King Street which is in Westminster, but write at the bottom of the Superscription, London; how should the postman know whether you mean King Street by Guildhall, King Street on Great Tower Hill, King Street in Spittle-fields, King Street in Prince's Street near St. Anne's Church, King Street near Golden Square, King Street in Dean Street by Soho Square, King Street in Covent Garden, King Street by Hay's Court near Newport Market, King Street in Upper Moor-fields, King Street by Old Street Square, King Street by Bloomsbury Square, King Street by St. James's Square, King Street near the Six Dials, or King Street in the Mint? For many streets and other places, bear one and the same Name; but here they are set down so obvious to every intelligent Reader, and to be understood likewise by Persons of the meanest Capacity, that such mistakes may be easily avoided for the future, by seeing what Places lie properly in London, Westminster, or Southwark; signified or devoted by the capital letters L. S. W. without regarding the Matter sometimes following them; which is some historical or other remarkable Account of that Place in particular from others.
     So large is the extent of London, Westminster and Southwark, with their Suburbs and Liberties, that no Coachman nor Porter knows every Place in them; therefore this book may also be a Guide for them, and prevent, as hath been too often done, a losing any more Portmanteau, Trunks, Boxes, or Parcels. Furthermore to make it as complete as may be, for the Usefulness of all Gentlemen, Merchants, Tradesmen, Chapman, Country People, and others in any way of Business, taking into Consideration that it is many Years since a List was perfectly taken of all the Inns to which Flying Coaches, Stage Coaches, Waggons, or Carriers, Pack-Horses come to, in or about London or Southwark, and the Days they set out again; for many of them have removed their Stations within these few Years; I have also been at no small Cost, as well as great Pains, to make a new one. And that it may be serviceable to such you have Business by Water, there is shewed on what Part of the River of Thames, from Mill bank to Limehouse hole, on the north side thereof; and from Strandgate to West Lane, on the South side, the principal Keys, Wharfs, Plying-places, for Bargemen, Lightermen, and Watermen, are seated, for the Conveniency of carrying goods or passengers, above or below London Bridge; with a perpetual Tide Table, whereby People may know when to go by water to places situated Eastward or Westward. Besides, that people may not be imposed upon, either by Land or Water, I have here inserted the rates of Hackney-Coachmen, Chairmen, and Watermen, with Directions where to complain against them, upon any just and lawful Occasion.
     Again to make it as necessary as possible can be, for Trade and Business, you have here an exact account all the most notable Fairs, both fix'd and moveable, kept in every Month of the Year, in England and Wales. Instructions about the General-post letters, whether Domestick or Foreign; with a List of the Post Towns in South Britain. A List of the Places to which the six Penny-post Offices send Letters and Parcels, and how often in the day. A list of all the Market Towns in England and Wales, with the days of the Week whereon kept. A List of the Cities, Towns and Boroughs that send Members to Parliament. A perpetual Almanack, for finding out Time past, present, and to come. Several necessary Tables, with the Use of them. And an exact Description of the great Roads from London to all the considerable Cities and Towns in England and Wales, together with the cross Roads from one City or eminent Town to another, in measured Miles and Furlongs, the distances thereof being taken from the Standard in Cornhill in London, convenient for all Travellers; to whom I give Notice, that the great roads commencing from London and being carried on to the Extremity of the Kingdom, the farthest Place is only named in the Title of the Road, notwithstanding many much more considerable Places are passed through, as in the Road from London to Berwick, you see Huntingdon, Grantham, Newark, York, Durham, Newcastle, are not mentioned in the Title, though in prosecuting the way you are led through them; and so the same of the other Roads to other Places. And where any Abbreviations are useful in any part of this book, that it might not swell to too big a Bulk for the Pocket, the Explanation of 'em is made easy to the meanest Capacity. Moreover for the Use of Gentlemen, Ladies, and others, whose Circumstances have mounted them above the Hurry of Trade and Business, and therefore have more Time and Leisure permitted 'em for publick Devotion, here is a complete list of all the Cathedrals, Churches and Chapels within the Bill of Mortality, with the set time of reading therein publick Prayers, receiving the Sacrament, performing Morning and Evening lectures, and preaching both ordinary and extraordinary Sermons.
     But it may be Objected, by Men whose Conceit and Ignorance prompt them to carp at other Mens Works, not mend them, Why I should only place St. Margaret's Parish to the City of Westminster, and not the Parishes of St. Martin in the Fields, St. Clement Danes, St. Mary le Savoy, St. Paul Covent Garden, St. James and St. Anne as being in the Liberty thereof: To which I reply, Because Use and Custom having gain'd so far as to ascribe them to London, and the Directions herein being so plain, that any Place in those Parishes may be easily found out, I would not altogether deviate from what has been habitual to the Generality of the common people by long practice. In fine, I have done my best Endeavours, to make it universally serviceable to Foreigners that can speak or write English, as well as those of my own Nation: as the project has been so well approved of by some ingenious Gentleman of my Acquaintance, who are going to Travel, that they assure me they will set others upon the like Invention of surveying the Capital Cities of Europe; which will be highly beneficial to Merchants holding a better Correspondence, though ever so remote from one another: So if this Piece finds a favourable Acceptance amongst my countryman, it is all the Favour the Author expects for his extreme Labour, of travelling 2,175 Streets, Lanes, Courts, and other Places; which tracing backwards and forwards, comprehended near 250 miles; a Perambulation never yet performed by any other Man besides myself, in any Age past, nor this wherein we live.

St. Alban, on the east side of Wood Street near Cripplegate, is a Church of great antiquity, built about the year 930, and was perhaps the oldest Workmanship of any about London, till it was burnt in the year 1666; since which it has been rebuilt, and is the only Church that is dedicated to the memory of St. Alban, the Proto-Martyr of England, a Citizen of Verulam in Hertfordshire, where he suffered under Diocletian's persecution, Anno Domini 303, from whence it is called St. Alban's to this Day; and his festival is celebrated on the 17th of June.
