154 THE BOOK-HUNTER IN LONDON the iconoclastic wave of improvements swept everything before it. Holywell Street still remains intact. One of the most famous bookstalling localities during the last century was Exeter 'Change, in the Strand, which occupied a large area of the roadway between the present Lyceum Theatre and Exeter Street, and has long since given place to Burleigh Street. The place was built towards the end of the seventeenth century, and the shops were at first occupied by sempste...rs, milliners, hosiers, and so forth. The place Exeter ''Change in 1826. appears to have greatly degenerated, and soon included bookstalls among the standings of miscellaneous dealers. Writing on January 31, 1802, Robert Bloomfield observes : ' Last night, in passing through Exeter 'Change, I stopt at a bookstall, and observed " The Farmer's Boy " laying there for sale, and the new book too, marked with very large writing, Bloomfield's "Rural Tales": a young man took it up, and I observed he read the whole through, and perhaps little thought that the author stood at his elbow.
