THE SITE OF Ancient LONDON
Wien Sir Christopher Wren began to
bull the New ST. PAul's, in digging for
foundation, he came to layer OF Sax
on graves, lined with chalk, some in
stone cotfins; and at some distance be-
low, the bcd,es Of the British, only
wrapped in woolen shrouds, fastened
with pins of hard wood. In the same
row yet deeper, (eig,een feet) were the
ashes of the Romans in urns-Britons
and Romans tcge.her-The conquYors
and conquered both together. Lower
than these graves stood the foundations
Of old St. Paul's resting upon very close
pot earth. and yet still lower nothing but
dry and mixed sometimes unequaIIy.
but mostly so loose that it would pass
through the fingers then water and
sand, mixed with periwinkIes and other
sea shells. This was about the level oi
low water mark.
The gradual rise Of the site of London
hy the formation of shoals. DC, will be
readily understood by the above account.
1t grew By natural causes, and at the
time of the arrival Of the Romans was a
rude British stronghold, defended BY
ear,hwo'ks, and by thick woods towards
the north. and surrounded ON the other
sides by An immense extent OF water,
amid which the present course of the
Thames could scarcely be dehued.-1he
