Walks in London . nd in 1827, when the house waspulled down, its fittings taken to Buckingham Palace, and its columnsused in building the portico of the National Gallery. Its site is markedby the column (1830-33, 124 feet high) surmounted by a statue by Carlton House 43 Westmacott of Frederick, Duke of York, second son of George III. Inthe centre of the open space an equestrian statue of Lord Napier ofMagdala, by Boehm and Gilbert, was erected in 1891. On the left is astatue of Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde, 1863, by Marochetti, and beyondit, a statue of Lord Lawrence, Governor of the Punjab, and Viceroy ofIndia, by Boehm. On the right is a statue of Sir John Franklin byNoble. The relief on its pedestal represents the funeral of Franklin, with Captain Crozier reading the burial service ; it wonderfully appealsto human sympathies, and there is scarcely a moment in the day whenpassers-by are not lingering to examine it. Beyond, at the angle, is anadmirable statue by Boehm of Sir John Fox Burgoyne, 1782-1871.. WESTMINSTER FROM CARLTON TERRACE.

It contains afine bust of Pope by Rysbrach, and a bust of Milton bequeathed byAnthony Trollope. Beyond, on the left, is the Travellers Club, de-signed by Sir C. Barry, 183
