Excerpt from Charing Cross to Ileracombe John Dtmsou Champlin Edward L Chichestei3 Chatto and Windus London I886
Eleanor's last memorial, and look, as it were, upon the intellectual, the commercial, the social, the art, and the money centre of the world's great capital; and if it be a busy hour you will be led to exclaim with Dr. Johnson that the full tide of human existence is at Charing Cross.
Charing Cross is, then, of all places on earth the best place to start from, for in whatever direction one advances the movement must necessarily be from centre to periphery. When, therefore, Mace nas asked a favored few to meet him at this time honored site to participate in the pleasures Of a drive with his coach and four, all the invited ap proved his choice; and when he announced that the advance was to be in a due westerly direction, his wisdom was universally applauded, for even the most thoughtless were struck with the fact - which had doubtless induced that choice - that the provi dential configuration of the right tight little island would prevent our going on, like the Poet Laureate's brook, for ever.
