FOOTNOTES
{16} Most of the illustrations are _bird’s-eye views_, taken from
house-tops and church-towers, in order to shew as many public buildings
as possible. The reader will attribute to this cause any apparent
distortion of perspective, as compared with views taken from level
ground.
{18} This tremendous conflagration was one of the largest ever known in
London since 1666, involving the loss of property valued at two millions
sterling. The ruins were still hot, steaming and smoking, seven weeks
after the fire commenced. Mr. Braidwood, chief of the London Fire
Brigade, perished in the ruins; a public funeral testified to the esteem
in which he was held.
{20} This is not what is called LONDON STONE. That famous stone will be
found on the side of St. Swithin’s Church, New Cannon Street. (See p.
168.)
{40} Tickets of admission can generally be obtained, during the season,
of Messrs Smith, 137 New Bond Street. Days of admission, from 10 till 5,
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
{47a} The total cost, including 200 tons of iron-railing, was
£1,511,202.
{47b} It is strange that, in relation to the best known building in
London, great discordance reigns concerning the total _height_. Wren’s
son, in the _Parentalia_, simply states that the lantern is 330 feet from
the ground; Maitland gives the total height at 340 feet; many authorities
name 360 feet; while several Hand-books and Guides, following the
pamphlet sold in the cathedral, raise it to 404 feet. This last
statement agrees with the Cockney tradition, that St. Paul’s is twice as
high as the Monument. A careful examination of the vertical section,
however, shews that the height is about 356 feet above the marble
pavement of the cathedral, 375 above the level of the crypt, and 370
above the pavement of the churchyard. It will thus be sufficiently near
the truth to say that St. Paul’s is 365 feet high—a familiar number, easy
to remember.
