PEERS IMMORTALIZED BY PUBLIC-HOUSES.

(11 S. iv. 228, 271.)

THE names of the nobility are liberally scattered over every quarter of London in this connexion, and there is also a pleasing assortment of "Heads" and "Arms" in addition. A reference to the ' London Directory ' supplies a list of 24 Dukes, 1 1 Marquises, 19 Earls, 30 unclassified " Lords," and 10 Admirals, some of whom figure among the Lords :
