NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS TO THE "PRICE CURRENT OF LITERATURE." G. WILLIS gratefully acknowledges the various interesting documents and letters he has received. He is anxious that it should be perfectly understood that he is not the author of any statement, representation, or opinion, that may appear in his "Current Notes," which are merely selections from communications made to him in the course of his business, and which appear to him to merit attention. Every statement therefore is open to correction or discussion, and the writers of the several paragraphs should be considered as alone responsible for their assertions. Although many notes have hitherto appeared anonymously, or with initial letters, yet wherever a serious contradiction is involved, G. Willis trusts that his Correspondents will feel the necessity of allowing him to make use of their names when properly required. THE ENVIRONS OF LONDON. _Original Letter from the late Sir Robert Peel._ Whitehall, July 7th, 1840. MY DEAR SIR, Do not you think a very interesting work might be written, to be entitled an Historical Account of the celebrated Villas in the neighbourhood of London. I mean rather the Villas that have been--than those that now exist. Look at Horace Walpole's Song on Strawberry Hill. How many places are there mentioned which have historical recollections connected with them, which it would be worth preserving. There must be always great interest about the localities in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. In that song alone are mentioned Gunnersbury, Sion, Chiswick, Strawberry Hill, Greenwich, Marble Hill, Oatlands, Clermont, Southcote, you might add Wanstead, Wimbledon, Holland House, and a hundred others--many with very curious anecdotes of local and personal history connected with them. Perhaps I overrate the interest with which such a book would be read. I certainly do not, if it would equal that, with which I myself read the account of places in the neighbourhood of Paris, remarkable in history, but the traces of which--many of which at least--are fast fading away; such as Maisons, Sceaux, Meudon, Chantilli, &c. &c. Hampton Court, the ancient Palace at Richmond, Kew, &c. &c. might enter into the work.
