DE QUINCEY AND 4, YORK STREET,

COVENT GARDEN. In your review of Mr. Jacobs's ' Covent Garden ' (ante, p. 98 ) reference is made to De Quincey having written his ' Confessions ' at 4, York Street. I knew 4, York Street, both in Bohn's time, and later when Bell & Daldy came into possession. Certainly the De Quincey por- tion was then a continuation of No. 4. What had possibly been the backyard of No. 4 was then covered in. Underground, how- ever, was an ancient vaulted passage given over to darkness and rats, where, it was said, nuns Were buried in the days of % old ! The De Quincey portion was a smair^Wo- storied building quite at the back, and it was also at the back of the then Athenceum office, but not accessible from there. It was accessible only from 4, York Street.
