AVhat a pleasant, suburban village must Westminster then have been ; — and how grandly must the old AND ITS PEEDECESSOKS. 1G5 palace have risen, with its arched entrances, and battle- mented tops amid vineries and trellices ; and how pleasantly the barges must have floated by, towards the aristocratic region of the Strand ; whilst dames looked forth from their lattices, o...r trod in dignity the walks of the herbaries, or kitchen-garden; — of flowers, there were but few cultivated?
