Excerpt....... THE TOWER OF LONDON; the fortress, the palace, and prison, in which so many events, connected with the history of our country, have transpired.

Our view is taken from Tower Hill, near which was the scaffold on which so many have fallen. To the left of the picture stood the grand storehouse of William III., destroyed by fire, Nov. 1841.
