LONDON.

FROM GREENWICH.

THIS splendid prospect of the metropolis of Great Britain, with its noble river, has long been celebrated. It is unquestionably the finest point of view for displaying its commercial opulence, if it does not as from some other sites afford an equally favourable view of its architectural ornaments.

The view is taken from the Park; and the whole combined scenery presents one of the most splendid coups d'œil that can be imagined. To be properly enjoyed, it should be seen at an early hour in the morning, before the numerous fires have covered the metropolis with a dense mantle of smoke; rendering the distinction of the different buildings a matter of impossibility.

It is a favourite spot both with the painter and the poet; and its splendour has been well described by Mr. Wordsworth in the following sonnet.

Earth has not any thing to shew more fair :
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty :
The city now doth like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will,
Dear god! the very houses seem asleep;
And all the mighty heart is lying still!
