Cambridge, July 12. 1851.
To those who are familiar with the _Form of Cury_, edited by Dr. Pegge,
no explanation can be necessary for the name of this street, or rather
lane. It seems, indeed, strange that any one who calls himself a
Cambridge man should have failed to discover that it was the peculiar
quarter of the _cooks_ of the town; as we in London have our Poultry
named from the _Poulters_ (not _Poulterers_, as now corruptly
designated) who there had their shops.
