Plan of London (Vol. vii., p. 382.).—L. S. W. asks whether there is a good plan of London, and answers his Query thus, None. I beg to differ from him, believing that no city in the world possesses so good a plan as that lately made under the late Commissioners of Sewers. It is true I and my tenants have paid very dearly for it, but having examined both the reduced plan and block plan very carefully, am compelled to admit their accuracy. It is published in sheets at two shillings each; size, three feet by two feet; scale of block plan, five feet to one mile; reduced plan, one foot to one mile. On each plan accurate levels of every place is given. An index-map, price threepence, is also published.
