for the Metropolis.

Bayswater, Paddington, Kentish Town, Clapton, Lime House, Deptford, 

 Clapham, and Chelsea ; and thus the metropoh"s may be extended in alter- 

 nate mile zones of buildings, with half mile zones of country or gardens, till 

 one of the zones touched the sea. To render the plan complete, it would 

 be necessary to have a circle of turf and gravel in the centre of the city, 

 around St. Paul's, half a mile in diameter. In this circle ought to be situ- 

 ated all the government offices, and central depots connected with the 

 administration of the affairs of the metropolis. That being accomplished, 

 whatever might eventually become the extent of London, or of any large 

 town laid out on the same plan and in the same proportions, there could 

 never be an inhabitant who would be farther than half a mile from an open 

 airy situation, in which he was free to walk or ride, and in which he could 

 find every mode of amusement, recreation, entertainment, and instruction.

Supposing such a plan considered desirable, it could not be carried into 

 execution in such a metropolis as London, unless in consequence of accident 

 or revolution, in less time than one or two centuries; because it could 

 never be recommended to purchase and pull down so many valuable houses
