| quote: | | If London Were Like New York |
| quote: | | For the purposes of this article the gentle reader of the "London Magazine" will kindly consider himself or herself living in the year of grace 1907.

| quote: | | If London Were Like Venice |
| quote: | | "Geologists say that the land upon which London is built has subsided 68 feet during the last 500 years. This doubtless is traceable to substratiform deposits, lunar attraction, or causes equally occult; but whatever it is, the figures 68 disarm suspicion. Assuming that the subsidence is still going on, one can imagine the metropolis some day sinking below Thames level and becoming a second Venice" -- Daily Paper. |
