Somewhat earlier (2 July, 1661), Evelyn in his _Diary_ has the entry “I went to see the New Spring Garden at Lambeth, a pretty contrived plantation.” This probably, if not quite certainly (for compare the mention in Evelyn’s _Fumifugium_ noticed above), refers to Vauxhall Gardens. Monconys, the French traveller (1663), briefly describes “Les Jardins du Printemps” at Lambeth, but it can hardly be made out whether he is alluding to the garden called by Pepys the Old Spring Garden at Vauxhall or to the New Spring Garden, _i.e._, Vauxhall Gardens (cp. Tanswell’s _Lambeth_, p. 181). The supposed site of the Old Spring Garden at Vauxhall (or Lambeth) is indicated in a map in Manning and Bray’s _Surrey_, iii. p. 526 (cp. Walford, vi. 340). The statement of Aubrey and Sir John Hawkins, usually accepted by modern writers, that Sir Samuel Morland occupied in 1675 a house on the site of Vauxhall Gardens, is evidently erroneous (cp. _Vauxhall Papers_, No. 4, p. 28).

As notices of the Spring Garden are rare at this period, the following advertisement may be worth quoting:--“Lost in Fox Hall, Spring Garden, on the 29th past a little Spaniel Dog, Liver Coloured and white long Ears, a Peak down his Forehead, a small Spot on each knee” (_The Postman_, May 3–6, 1712). The pleasant walks of the Spring Garden are referred to in 1714 in Thoresby’s _Diary_, ii. 215. [322] _A New Guide to London_ (1726). Guildhall Library, London. [323] Lockman in his _Sketch of the Spring Gardens_ (1753?) praises Jonathan Tyers for having reformed the morals of the Spring Garden when he became proprietor in 1728. [324] Several of the Vauxhall season tickets were designed for Tyers by Hogarth. They are engraved in Nichols’s _Lambeth_, pl. xv. p. 100, and in Wilkinson’s _Londina lllustrata_. A good though not complete collection of Vauxhall tickets is in the British Museum, including the series of silver tickets brought together by Mr. Edward Hawkins. Tyers presented Hogarth as a return for his services with a gold ticket, inscribed _in perpetuam beneficii memoriam_, which was a free pass to the gardens for ever. Mrs. Hogarth had it after her husband’s death, and in 1856 it was in the possession of Mr. F. Gye who bought it for £20 (cp. Nightingale in _The Numismatic Chronicle_, vol. xviii (1856), p. 97). In 1737 the season tickets admitting two persons cost one guinea; in 1742 they were twenty-five shillings; in 1748, two guineas. [325] In honour of Frederick, Tyers constructed the “Prince’s Pavilion” at the western end of the Gardens facing the orchestra. [326] This description is adapted from the _Scots Magazine_ for July 1739. [327] The lamps about the middle of the eighteenth century were about 1,000–1,500 in number; they afterwards greatly exceeded this total. [328] Smollett’s _Humphry Clinker_.
