Description: Literary and Historical Memorials of London: Two (2) Volume Set. Jesse, J. Heneage. London: Richard Bentley, 1847. First Edition. Two original hardbound volumes, 448 and 456 pages. Fold out plans and maps. Includes the The Plan of London and Westminster in the Reign of Elizabeth, in a pocket in the front cover of the first volume. "In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, as appears by Aggas's " Plan of London," published in 1560, the present line of Piccadilly, extending from the Haymarket to Hyde Park Corner, was a mere road, which ran through an open country, and was called "the Roade to Readinge." Piccadilly appears to have been formed into a street about the year 1642. It extended then no farther than the end of the present Swallow Street, and when afterwards, in the reign of Charles the Second, it was continued in the direction of Hyde Park Corner, the new street, in compliment to Catherine of Braganza, obtained the name of Portugal Street. In a map of London, printed in 1707, Piccadilly and Portugal Street are still laid down as two distinct streets. Two years afterwards, as appears by the " Tatler " of the 18th of April, 1709, the whole line of street came to be known by its present denomination."
