DESCRIBES, FAR MORE FULLY THAN THE COURT NEWSMAN EVER.
DID, A BACHELOR'S PARTY, GIVEN BY Mr.BOB SAWYER AT HIS LODGINGS IN THE BOROUGH There is a repose about Lant Street, in the Borough, which sheds a gentle melancholy upon the soul.

There are always a good many houses to let in the street: it is a by-street too, and its dulness is soothing.
A house in Lant Street would not come within the denomination of a first-rate residence, in the strict acceptation of the term; but it is a most desirable spot nevertheless.

If a man wished to abstract himself from the world--to remove himself from within the reach of temptation--to place himself beyond the possibility of any inducement to look out of the window--we should recommend him by all means go to Lant Street.
In this happy retreat are colonised a few clear-starchers, a sprinkling of journeymen bookbinders, one or two prison agents for the Insolvent Court, several small housekeepers who are employed in the Docks, a handful of mantua-makers, and a seasoning of jobbing tailors.

The majority of the inhabitants either direct their energies to the letting of furnished apartments, or devote themselves to the healthful and invigorating pursuit of mangling.
