Upon every ea ; and a volume would be requir
ed to detail the result of her mnratime enter
prise and internal trade upon the aspect of the
city which forme the centre of these mighty
operations.
In population, London is a nation in hercclf,
the number of inhabitants has doubled in forty
years, and now amounts to one million nine
hundred thousand.' In 1613 it will contain two
millions ! In length, from east to west, the
houses extend in one line between five and six
miles, and in breadth, from north to south, near
ly lour. But if wc include Chelsea at one ex
treme, and Black wall at the other, and take the
breadth from Walworth to Holloway and
these are now certain portions of the Croat City
we shall have London covering abovo thirty
square miles of ground ! And then her river,
bearing upon its surface the ships of every na
tion: and her docks the East and West India
Docks, tho l-ondon Docks, the Commercial
Docks, and the St. Kalherine'a Docks, together
covering more than five hundred acres, teeming
with valuable commodities; and one of them,
the West India pocks, capable of accomodating
five hundred large ships.
To the port of London alone, in 1640, there
belonged 2950 ships of 500,000 tons burden,
and manned by 82,000 seamen; in the same
year there entered the port from British cron
ies 1639 ships! from her own coasts, Kcludinr
colliers, 20,205 ships ; from Ireland , 907 ships ;
from foreign countries, 23,55 which, with
3160 British Vessels, formed one year' trade.
What can compare witb this! London con
tains one hundred thcrusand. inhabited homes,
one half ofthem hating i'nopa attached. The
