THE KINGS MOST SACRED
MAIESTY:
sin,
T was one day, as Iwas Walking
in Your MAJESTIES Palace
at WHITE-HALL (where
Thave fometimes the honour to refreth
my felfwith the Sight of Your Tllu-
firions Prefence, which is the Joy of
Your Peoples hearts) that a prefarnp-
tuous Smoake iffuing from oneor two
Tunnels neer Norsbumberland-Honfe
and not far from Scotland-yard, did fo
invade the Court; hat all the Rooms,
Galleries, and Places about it were
filld and infefted withit ; and that to
fach a degree, as Men could hardly
difcern one another for the Clowd ,
and none could {apport without ma-
nifelt Iaconveniency. Iewas not this
Aa which‘The Epifle
which did fir faggelt to me what I
had long fince conceived againtt this
pernicious Accident, upon frequent
obfervation ; But it was this alone,
and the trouble that it muft needs pro-
cure to Your Sacted Majelty, as well
as hazzard to/ Your Health , which
kindled this Indignation of mine, a-
gainttit, and was the occafionof what
thas produc'd in thefe Papers.
Your Majefty who isa Lover of
noble Buildings , Gardens, Pidures,
and all Royal Magnificences, mult
neds defitc to be freed from this pro-
‘digious annoyance; and, whichis fo
great an Enemy to their Luftre and .
Beauty , thac where it once enters
therecan nothing remain long in its
native Splendor and Perfe@ion :. Nor
muft here forget that Illuftrious and
divine Princeffe, Your Majefties only
Sifter, thenow Ducheffe of Orleans,
who at her Highefé late being in this
Cit

City; didin my heating, complain of
the Fifedts of this Smoake both in her
Breaft and Lungs, whilft She was in
Your Majefties Palace, 1 cannot but
greatly apprehend, that Your Ma-
jelty C who has been fo long accufto-
md to the excellent er of other
Countries) may be as much offended
atic, in thae regard allo; efpecially
fince the Evils fo Epidemicall; indane
geting as well the Health of Your
Subjects, asiit allies the Glory of this
Your Imperial Seat:
Sir, prepare in chis fhore Difeourle,
an expedient how this pernicious Nui=
fance may be reformed; and offer-at
anotheralfo, by which the Aer may
not only-be ftced from the: prefent In-
conveniency ; but (that remov'd)to
rendernot only Your Majefties Palace,
but the whole City likewife , one of
thefweetelt, and mott delicious Ha-
bitations in the World; and ee
