| | THE HOSPITAL IN GREAT ORMOND STREET, BLOOMSBURY, 1859-1895. - THE HISTORY OF THE LONDON HOMOEOPATHIC HOSPITAL - ... |
 | | Great Ormond Street, like Queen Square, was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century, with fine houses, each with its large garden at the back. |
 | | It was from here that the Great Seal was stolen in 1784, and though some say that the thieves were disturbed, and others that they got clear away with their booty, it is certain that the Great Seal was never discovered, and a new one was ordered immediately to be made. |
 | | Perhaps the most interesting of all the old houses in Great Ormond Street were those standing on each side of Powis Place, one where the celebrated and learned Dr. Mead lived for many years, and died in 1754, and the other, formerly numbered 52, the home of the Macaulays. |
