[8] _See_ Earle's edition of the Saxon Chronicle. Mr Charles Plummer, who edited a new edition of _Two of the Saxon Chronicles, Parallel_ (Oxford, 1892-99), does not altogether agree with Earle in these views. He holds that no distinction was meant between Lunden and Lundenburh. [9] Quoted in _Archæologia_, vol. xxxix. p. 56.

[12] This device of Cnut's is one of great interest, although we have no details of how it was carried out. The late Sir Walter Besant contended that it was not the great work which some had supposed, and he made an elaborate plan of his suggestion as to its construction. (See _South London_, 1899, p. 40.) [13] A very instructive article on 'The Conqueror's Footprints in Domesday,' which contains an account of his movements after the Battle of Senlac, between Enfield, Edmonton, Tottenham, and Berkhamsted, was published in the _English Historical Review_, vol. xiii. (1898), p. 17. [14] _See_ Dr. Reginald Sharpe's _London and the Kingdom_, to the contents of which valuable work I am pleased to express my great obligations. [15] _Archæologia_, vol. xxxii. p. 305.

[20] It is scarcely creditable to the city authorities that no mark of the position of the other gates has been set up. To place these memorials would be an easy thing to do, and this attention to historical topography would be highly appreciated by all Londoners. The mark of Aldgate should take the form of a statue of Chaucer, who lived at that gate for some years. The Corporation would honour themselves by doing further honour to the great Englishman, who was also one of the greatest of Londoners, if they placed at the great eastern entrance to London a full length effigy of the son of one of London's worthy merchants. This would be in addition to the gift of a bust to Guildhall by Sir Reginald Hanson. The line of the wall should also be marked, but this would be a more difficult operation.
