Below which is the following text: "This view was copied from a rare print in the choice collection of Thomas Allen Esqr. to whom, for this and many other favors, the engraver of this work feels himself highly obliged. The above section shewing the relative situation of Clarendon House, was taken from a map of London (supposed to be unique) in the possession of John Charles Crowle Esqr. whose philanthropy is not exceeded by the splendor of the Illustrated Clarendon's History in which he has inserted it".
