There is an interesting note on Gerrards Hall in Stow's ' Survey,' under the heading of Bread Street Ward, and the building seems to have escaped the Great Fire. It is also interesting to observe that most, if not all, of the streets named, exist at the present day. I am not sure if Lad Lane does so ; but it did so recently as 1831, and is described by Elmes as " the first turning on the right in Wood Street, going from Cheapside ; it extends to Milk Street."

T. L. PEACOCK: CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERIODICALS.

THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK, who may be said in his teaching and practice to have been a bundle of inconsistencies, was a frequent contributor to the periodical lite- rature which he always did his best to ridicule and abuse. His activity in this respect has been nearly overlooked, for neither have his articles been sought out and collected, nor, except for a casual remark here and there, has any notice been taken of them. This statement naturally does not apply to ' The Four Ages of Poetry,' ' Horse Dramatic*,' and ' Memoir and Letters of Shelley,' which were reprinted in Cole's edition. Some-, of Peacock's other articles are mentioned by name in a letter of his addressed to a Mr. L'Estrange, and contained in Cole's ' Biographical Notes.'

The following list is derived from this and

other sources (the articles reproduced in Cole's edition not being included) :

1822. ' The Poetry of Nonnus.' London Maga- zine, October, pp. 336-9.

1827. Article on Thomas Moore's 'Epicurean.' Westminster Review, pp. 351-84.

1830. Article on Tnomas Moore's ' Letters and Journals of Lord Byron.' Westminster Review,, April, pp. 269-304.

Article on ' Memoirs, Correspondence, and Private Papers of Thomas Jefferson, late Presi- dent of the United States.' Westminster Renew, October, pp. 312-35.

Also in the same number one on ' Chronicles of London Bridge ' (pp. 401-15).

1834. Article on ' Musical Reminicences,' contain- ing an account of the Italian opera in England from 1773, by the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe. London and Westminster Review, April to July, pp. 173-87.

1835-6. Article on 'French Comic Romances.' London and Westminster Review, July to January,, pp. 69-84.

In the same number one on Bellini (pp. 467-80).

The same number also contains an article* undoubtedly written by Peacock, on ' The Epicier : Physiology of the French ' (pp. 355-65), founded on a critique in the ' Revue Encyclopedique, Etudes Politiques sur 1' Epicier.' As this article has been up to the present absolutely unmentioned as one of Peacock's, the reasons for its being his may be given : (1) The subject is a congenial and therefore likely one for him, and the article is entirely written in his style. (2) It has the same initials (M. S. O.) attached to it that the two other articles in the same number of the London and Westminster bear, and under which the ' Horae Dramatic* ' appeared in Fraser's Magazine. (3) It contains the same promise to write an article on Paul de Kock which Peacock had made in two other articles in the same journal, and which, although thus thrice made in its pages, he never fulfilled.

1849. Article on 'Indian Epic Poetry.' West- minster and Foreign Quarterly Review, October to January number.

1858. Article on 'Chapelle and Bachaumont.' Eraser's Magazine, April, pp. 502-11.

Article on ' Demetrius Galanus,' Greek transla- tions from the Sanskrit. Eraser's Magazine, November, pp. 596-608.

1859. Article on ' Miiller and Donaldson's History of Greek Literature.' Eraser's Magazine, March, pp. 357-77.

Finally, a long article on ' Steam Naviga- tion ' in The Edinburgh Review (1835) may be mentioned. This was claimed for Pea- cock by the late Dr. Garnett. If the latter should be right, this article is certainly the most glaring example that can possibly be adduced for showing Peacock's inconsis- tency. That he should, immediately after his scathing remarks on The Edinburgh
