Hic jacet Tom Shorthose, Sine tombe, sine sheet, sine riches, Qui vixit sine gowne, Sine cloake, sine shirt, sine breeches. _St._ ALBAN’S _street_, Pall-mall. ALBEMARLE _buildings_, Bond street, so called from the Duke of Albemarle, who bought the Earl of Clarendon’s seat, which stood here, and afterwards selling the house and gardens, they were laid out into streets, whence arose this and the two following streets. ALBEMARLE _mews_, Dover street. ALBEMARLE _street_. 1. Piccadilly, 2. St. John’s street, West Smithfield.† In the possession of Richard Mead, Esq; in Albemarle street, is a book bought out of the collection of the famous Cardinal Maximi at Rome; it contain 148 accurate and elegant paintings in water colours, done from ancient pictures found on the walls, ceilings and floors of the baths of Titus, and various other buildings in Rome, some of which have been engraved by Bartoli in his _Sepolchri di Nassoni_, and in other books: but many of them are to be seen no where else, neither engraved, nor on the walls from whence they were first copied, where they are much defaced by the weather, the smoke of torches, and other accidents. Of these ancient paintings on wall, Mr. Mead has also a very elegant little specimen representing Augustus restoring a crown to a conquered Prince in the presence of several of his courtiers, among which the faces of Mecænas and Horace may be distinguished.—This has been engraved and explained by Turnbull. An ancient Greek inscription, being eight lines of Hexameter and Pentameter verses on a marble brought from Asia, which had been a pedestal to a statue of Jupiter Urius. This has been engraved and explained by the learned Mr. Chishul in his _Antiquitates Asiaticæ_. ALCOCK’S _rents_, Barnaby street.† ALDERMANBURY, Cateaton street. This street was thus named from the Guildhall being anciently situated there, till falling to decay, the present hall was built at the end of King street, about the year 1420. The old hall must have been very ancient, as this street had the name of Aldermanbury so early as before the year 1189; and Mr. Maitland supposes that Edward the Confessor, who began his reign in 1042, had a considerable share in its first foundation. ALDERMANBURY _Postern_, London wall. ALDERMAN PARSONS’S _stairs_, St. Catharine’s.† ALDERMAN’S _walk_, Bishopsgate street.
