Sinossi
Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 271: July to December, 1891
Thus it had gradually attained to an antique and picturesque appearance; sundry warehouses, for example, had fallen into decay on the river's bank, and at low tide showed black misshapen limbs, On which the green seaweeds, like an evil disease, festered in spots.
The houses rose up tier above tier, from the very brink Of the river to the full height Of the hill behind, red-tiled for the most part, with curious tall and crooked chimney-stacks that reminded the stranger Of a foreign town here and there a gable end had fallen in, and the irregular outline Of its ruin added to the general effect Of the whole.
Down by the quayside, and along the lower length Of the town, ran a curiously narrow and curving road, that but barely admitted the passage Of a cart.
