of booths were set upon the Thames;
the air was so very cold and thick, as
of many years there had not been the
like.

sorts of wares as in the city.
oath. The frost continuing more and
more severe . the trees not
only splitting as if lightning struck,
but men and cattle perishing in divers
places, and the very seas SO locked up
with ice that no vessels could stir out
or come in. The fowls, fish and birds,
and all exotic plants and greens uni
versally p%erishing. Many parks of
deer were destroyed, and all sorts OF
fuel so dear that there were great
contributions to preserve the poor
alive. . . . London, by reason OF
the excessive GOODNESS of the air him
dering the ascent of the smoke, was
SO filed with the fuliginous steam OF
the sea-coal that hardly could one see
across the streets, and this filling the
lungs with it's gross particles, exceed

one could scarcely breathe. Here was
no water to be had from the pipes and
engines, nor could the brewers and
divers and other tradesmen work, anG
