NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS Ixvii 



expected a follower of Epicurus to prefer a Lucretian 

 line, but Temple appears to have been a Stoic in 

 character (witness his behaviour on the suicide of his 

 son), and an Epicurean in temperament and intellect; 

 at their best and highest the two Philosophies are 

 one. 



The other five Illustrations of Royal Palaces and 

 Gardens are from the margin of a curious and some- 

 what rare Map of London and its Environs, published 

 at Nuremberg about 1725, by Johann Baptista 

 Homann, a pupil or assistant of Sandrart and Funck. 

 Homann has been made the subject of a learned mono- 

 graph by Dr. Christian Sandler, 1 and I am indebted 

 to Mr. Soulsby, Head of the Map Department in 

 the British Museum, for kindly referring me to this 

 source of information (which ascribes my map to 

 J. B. Homann's second son), and for fixing its 

 approximate date as 1725.
