an integral part of the British metropolis, lying
on the north side. The inhabitants, in 1801,
amounted to 23,396, and in 1821, to 32,105,
about 5,000 of whom were employed as lapida-
ries, working jewellers, and in all the various
branches of the manufacture of clocks, watches,
and time-keepers, which are here made in greater
perfection than in any other part of the world.
In this district are two or three extensive dis-
tilleries, serveral iron foundries, and various other
manufactures, as also the works of the New Riv-
er Company, which supply a great portion of
the metropolis with water, conveyed by pipes into
the several houses. Clerkenwell contains also
a. very elegant and spacious edifice, in which the
sessions for the county of Middlesex are held;
two extensive prisons, one appropriated as a
house of correction for juvenile offenders, and
the other, which has recently been much enlar-
ged, to general purposes. It has a theatre
for pantomime and aquatic exhibitions, called
Sadler’s'Wells, and was formerly distinguished
for an extensive establishment of the Knights
of St. John of Jerusalem. This was destroyed
by the rebels under Wat Tyler, in 1381, except
the principal gate tower, which still remains en-
tire, and forms one of the most interesting fea-
tures of antiquity connected with the metropolis.
It has two churches, but neither of them remark-
able for their architecture, nor is the general
aspect of this division of the metropolis in any
way imposing to the eye; but in the extent and
value of its productions, it is entitled to rank
among the most important.
