. A wanderer in London. ly pleasantwhile Lord Eldons peaches (at the back of No. 42), Col.Sutherlands grapes (at No. 33), and William Benthamsnectarines were the talk of all who ate them. Everyone who cares for the beautiful sensitive art ofJohn Flaxman, the friend of Blake, should penetrate tothe dome of University College, where is a fine collectionof his drawings and reliefs.
