"And she may still exist in undiminished vigour when some traveller from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's."
Essay (on von Ranck's History of the Popes) Thos. Babington Macaulay
[and see "Contemplating the Ruins of London", David Skilton;
and "When the New Zealander Comes" in The Strand Magazine, Sept. 1911]
