Notes:

This tower was erected anno 1079, by William the Conqueror, as a keep to a fortress begun by him in the year 1067, to awe the citizens of london; the architect was Gundulph, bishop of Rochester. Fitz Stephens has falsely attributed this edifice to Julias Cæsar.” (p. 140)

The Tower of London is one of the most famous landmarks of London.

Published in Nov. 1784 by S. Hooper.
