"Most travellers while in London
pay a visit to London stone," said
Arthur Nesbit of Liverpool. This
historic stone is oblong in shape, of a
grayish color, and is imbedded in the
slabs of the foundation Of st. Swith-
in's church. which is situated right
in the heart of the city. This stone
was erected by the Romans half a
century before the birth Of the Sa-
viour as the central milestone of
point of their possessions in Britain.
From it all roads. divisions of prop
erty and distances throughout the
province were measured. 1t has been
recognized as the heart of England
from which all its arteries flowed
by every historian or antiquary
known to English literature. A feel
ing has always existed among Eng
hshmen about this stone. which was
not altogether superstition, that as
all distances were reckoned from il
80 it was in a certain way the base
of the stability of England. st.
