DUKE OF NORFOLK’S _yard_, St. Alban’s street.
DULWICH, a very pleasant village in Surry, five miles from London,
where there is a spring of the same medicinal waters as those of
Sydenham wells, with which the master of the Green Man, a house of
good entertainment, serves this city, and in particular St.
Bartholomew’s Hospital. The fine walk opposite to this house,
through the woods, affords from its top a very noble prospect; but
this is much exceeded by that from a hill behind the house, where
from under a tree distinguished by the name of _The Oak of Honour_,
you have a view as in a fine piece of painting, of the houses as
well as churches, and other public edifices, from Putney down to
Chelsea, with all the adjacent villages, together with Westminster,
London, Deptford, and Greenwich, and over the great metropolis, as
far as Highgate, and Hamstead. But Dulwich is most famous for its
college.
