When the beautiful iron gates, | : in the long streich of brick { wall, blackened by generations of | | London smoke, in spite of the Geen | | Park opposite, have disappeared; | | when the quiet courtyard, whére for | | décades the sparrows have mocked | {the pigeons, has been built over; | | when the stafély Georgian house, | | slately not by magnificence but by | | its very simplicity and perfection of | { line and proportion, has been pulled | { down, London will be all the poorer, | i Thus the tide of commerce ever flow- | | Ing north and south, east and west, | reaches, in turn, one after another | of the great buildings of the past | | or even the humble houses of hils- | | tory. Yesterday it was Boswell's | House, ii Soho; to-day Devonshire | of 4 | House, Piccadilly; to-morrow it may be Gotgh Squafe or the Tower. Pro- | gress, says Herbert Spencer, is not | an accident, it is a Necessity, it fis | part of naturé. Which trules is! scarcely a philosephi¢ discovery of | the first magnitude. But one esuld | wish that it did not generally necss- | i sitate the replacing of the taste of | masters by that of journeymen. i Two hundred years &go Devonshire | House was the last house in Picca- | dilly passed by the cosches and post- | ing chaises worming their way out] of London by the great West Road. | To-day the sea of slates and bricks | has poured past it, efgulfing manor houses and parish churches, surging | round village greens &nd farmyards, | rushing up hills and Sooding valleys, and sweeping over hesths which once were the happy hunting ground of highwaymen. When the present! Devonshire House was built, and that was about the year of grace 1737, a string of mean shops and statuary | yards fringed Piceadilly, westward | as far as Hydé Park Corner, where | | a bell summoned pedestrians bound | { fof the village of -Kemsington, sunk | | Amidst its hawthorne hedges, to col- | 166t and proceed. together as a safe- By the bridge over the Westbourne, at the , hamlét of Knightsbridge, there was | 8t least one villainous inn frequent. i od by gentlemen of the road, and the whole fieighborhood was suspect te thé "Runners."
