The only crier in the series who has a horse and cart to attend him is the Worcestershire salt-man. Salt is still sold from carts in poor and crowded neighbourhoods. We have been somewhat surprised in not finding a single Thames waterman among the criers of London; but the series was, perhaps, confined to the streets of London, and the watermen were thought to belong altogether to the stairs leading to their silent highway. Three of their cries have given titles to three good old English comedies, "Northward, ho!" "Eastward, ho!" and "Westward, ho!" But our series of cries is still extremely incomplete. Every thing in early times was carried and cried, and we have seen two rare prints of old London Cries not to be found in the lists already enumerated. One is called "_Clove Water, Stomock Water_," and the other "_Buy an new Booke_." Others may still exist. In the Duke of Devonshire's collection of drawings, by Inigo Jones, are several cries, drawn in pen-and-ink, for the masques at court in the reigns of James I. and Charles I. [Illustration: THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS.] In Thomas Heywood's, "_The Rape of Lucrece_, a True Roman Tragedy, acted by Her Majestie's Servants at the _Red-Bull_, 1609," is the following long list of LONDON CRIES, but called for the sake of the dramatic action of the scene, "_Cries of Rome_," which was the common practice with the old dramatists, Rome being the canting name of London. Robert Greene, in his "_Perimedes the Blacksmith_, 1588," when he wished to criticise the London _Theatre_ at Shoreditch, talks of the _Theatre in Rome_; also in his "_Never too Late_, 1590," when he talks of the London actors, he pretends only to speak of Roscius and the actors of _Rome_. In the pedlar's French of the day Rome-vyle--or ville--was London, and Rome-mort the Queen [Elizabeth]. There is some humour in the classification, and if the cries were well imitated by the singer, the ballad--or as it would then be called "_jig_"--is likely to have been extremely popular in its day.
