[108]: This front belongs to an isolated block known as the "Fellows' Buildings," erected shortly after Milton's time.
[109]: "L'Allegro."
[110]: "Il Penseroso."
[111]: A small back door, however, leads from the kitchen into "Christ's Lane" (on the south).

Unhappily it was at a period of execrable taste (the earliest Victorian), and the three are far from beautiful or correct examples of ecclesiastical architecture.

[115]: This occupied all but the whole space bounded by Downing Street, Tennis Court Road, Lensfield Road, and Regent Street.
[116]: The ethnological series of skulls here ranks (with those at Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Washington) as the most complete in the world.
[117]: On the wall here is engraved Pasteur's inspired saying: "Dans les champs de l'observation le hasard ne favorise que les esprits préparés."
