Excerpt from A House of Memories
On the south side of the square, and leading out of it, is St. Martin's street, a short and narrow street which, crossing the narrow and elon gated Orange-street at right angles, proceeds to the rear of the National Gallery. It was in this street, on the left side, and at the corner of Long'* court, that there stood for upwards of two centuries the house of which Macaulay said Newton House is well known, and will continue to be well known as long as England re tains any trace of civilisation.
