_Plan of London._--Is there any good plan of London, showing its present

extent? The answer is, None. What is more, there never was a decent plan

of this vast metropolis. There is published occasionally, on a small

sheet of paper, a wretched and disgraceful pretence to one, bedaubed

with paint. Can you explain the cause of this? Every other capital in

Europe has handsome plans, easy to be obtained: nay more, almost every

provincial town, whether in this country or on the Continent, possesses

better engraved and more accurate plans than this great capital can

pretend to. Try and use your influence to get this defect supplied.
