In consequence of the infamous abuse of its liberties, an act for the entire
suppression of the Old Mint was passed in the ninth year of the reign of George
the First, not many months before the date of the present epoch of this history;
and as, after the destruction of Whitefriars, which took place in the reign of
Charles the Second, owing to the protection afforded by its inmates to the
Levellers and Fifth-monarchy-men, when the inhabitants of Alsatia crossed the
water, and settled themselves in the borough of Southwark,—so now, driven out
of their fastnesses, they again migrated, and recrossing the Thames, settled in
Wapping, in a miserable quarter between Artichoke Lane and Nightingale Lane,
which they termed the New Mint. On an

underpaid teaching, and explaining his idea that for women of initiative, quite as
