[19] In Archæologia, vol. xl., Mr. W. H. Black argues that not the east side of Walbrook, but the west, was the site of the first Roman settlement. His argument is based principally upon the fact that the western side offered the greater safety, having three sides protected by water, while the fourth side was protected by a moor. Yet the eastern side had the protection of the Walbrook and the Thames on the west and south, the moor on the north, and the broad stream of the Lea running through a vast morass on the east.

[21] Compare for instance, the city of Jerusalem, in which, despite the many sieges and conquests, the course of the old streets still remains.
[22] In The Governance of London (1907), Mr. Gomme surrenders some evidence which he formerly considered told in favour of Teutonic influences in London, such as that in clauses 9 and 11; but on the other hand he strengthens his case for Roman origins in other directions.—Ed.

Transcriber’s Note: While there is no explicit link in the original between the Algar tree and the rest, the layout and the text suggest that Mary is the daughter of Baldwin de Arras and his anonymous wife.
