"Plato was used to say, 'that many good laws were made, but still one was wanting; viz. a law to put
all those good laws into execution.' Thus the citizens of London have erected many famous monuments
to perpetuate their memories; but still there wanted a monument to continue the memory of their monu-
ments (subject by time and otherwise to be defaced), which at last, by JOHN STOW, was industriously
performed."-FULLER'S WORTHIES.
