GREAT GEORGE _street_, 1. A fine new built street, that extends from the
end of Bridge street into St. James’s Park. The great uniformity
observed in the buildings, their grandeur, and the length and
straightness of this street, form a noble vista, terminated at the end
next the park by very handsome iron gates supported on stone piers,
and by the tall trees of the park, which at a distance resemble a
thick grove. 2. A very noble street which extends from Hanover square
into Conduit street; this is also broad and well paved, and has
several very fine houses built and inhabited by noblemen and people of
the first rank. See HANOVER SQUARE.
