In n small space in the Whltechapel art galleries there Is n fascinating col lection which reconstitutes the history of London from the days when the Britons watched the galleys of the Ro mans sweeping up the Thames river. There are bits of Roman pottery found In the Thames mud. I'hotogrnphs and prints show how bits of the old Roman wall may still be touched by living bunds. And so throughout the long story of the great old' city there are re membrances of Its varying phases, of Its ceaseless change : a beautiful piece of carving by Grindling Gibbons, or one of his school, in St. Paul's grotesquely carved brackets of wood that once supported the beams of Tu dor houses; Iron brackets beautifully wrought by ancient craftsmen; leather jacks, out of which some Fnlstnff quaffed his suck; clay pipes, smoked in Queen Elizabeth's day by men who sailed the Spanish niiilir; the old Whltechapel parish register, telling of Citizens who died of plague, or born nnd married in the days before the groat fire, ami when bells of old St Paul's rang for Joy nnd sorrow. These, and ninny other relics, bring back the spirit of oldtimo London to men nnd women who go to the qule' and restful place from the rush of modern life In Whltechapel.
