Excerpt from The History of St. James's Square and the Foundation End West End of London: With a Glimpse of Whitehall in the Reign of Charles the Second In an Appendix will be found concise lists of owners and occupiers, and a comparative table of rates levied (for that rates are raised no householder needs to be reminded) on every house in the Square at intervals of twenty years from its foundation. The preparation of these lists has been by far the most laborious part of my researches, and I shall be very grateful for any corrections or additions which may suggest themselves to my readers, and especially for any unpublished letters referring directly to individual houses.
