' I sent some bottles of my beer to the late Dr. [Erasmus) Dahwix, at his request, who declared he had never met 

 with such excellent beer ; and added, that he would some time or other ( sly dog 1 ) adopt this metho<l of brewing, as a valuable 

 acquisition to the health . '—i'p. 12-13.

Sir Robert Rawlinson was here the pioneer of what we unconsciously recognise as the Waterworks Style of architectun 

 —and a very praiseworthy attempt it was, and a chai-acteristfc detail of the Gothic Revival. He based it on the tai: 

 towers built with such lavish emulation by the nobles of Pisa and Verona, and on the Moorish towers of Spain. It rausi 

 fje familiar to Londoners in the excellent chimn»,'y of the Pumping Station by tlie Grosvenor Bridge, and less generally 

 at the two great outfalls at Barking and Crossness.
