under the Great Plague in the year A vision of the horror of London 1665 was given by Mr. Walter G. Belle the historian of Old London, In a paper read to a meeting of the London Hospital Medical Society, over which Mr. Russell Howard, surgeon to the London presided Hospital..

At the butset Mr. Bell said that London's population in the calamitous year did not excééd half a million. The capital was so

small that the Westend had not yet spread up the Haymarket, and. in the East the town stopped a; Hulle beyond Whitechapel Church. London's City, Wall-an actual stone wall, standing high-was still fairly complete from the Tower of London by the east and north round to Aldersgate, with. considerable remains westward to wards the Thames, We knew London in the Great Plague best from Defoe's famous pages. Defoe explained that the Plague came to the then l'e capital of ours via Holland, from Turkey: "Drži:00 Nathaniel Hodges, who practised in London during the Plague, said the same thing. We now knew, however, that such was not the case, for, so far from being "of foreign origin, the Plague arose in our own streets, having its birth in the close, dark, and filthy wooden- built houses of Restoration Lon- don's slums, rat-infested as a matter of course. London had a story of Plague that was closely continuous for a hú dred and fifty years—a period over which there were fairly ample records-and it was probably, continuous for about three centuries, hack to the Black Death of the Middle Ages.
