Harriet Elizabeth Farren, who died 16th of June, 1857, aged 68. She made
her first appearance in London in 1813, as Desdemona.

[Picture: Bell and Horns sign] Close to Brompton New Church, at a
public-house called the Bell and Horns, {58} the road branches off again;
that branch which goes straight forward leading to Old Brompton, Earl's
Court, Kensington, and North End, Fulham. The turn to the left, or bend
to the south, being the main Fulham Road. Here, till within the last few
years, was standing the stump of an old tree, shown in the accompanying
sketch. [Picture: Stump] A cluster of trees at the commencement of the
Old Brompton Road have also been removed, and the road has been
considerably widened. On the right-hand side, adjoining Brompton New
Church, is the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, a Roman Catholic Establishment
of considerable extent, which stands on the ground once occupied by Mr.
Pollard's school. It was opened on 22nd March, 1851, and was originally
located in King William Street, Strand. It is bounded on the east by the
avenue of lime trees leading up to Holy Trinity Church, on the north by
its cemetery, on the west by the South Kensington Museum, and on the
south by the road, which has been widened by the commissioners to eighty
feet. The superior in London is the Rev. F. W. Faber, and at Birmingham,
the Rev. J. H. Newman, D.D. The building, which does not show its size
to advantage from the road, is erected in the shape of the letter T.
Some idea of the scale on which the building is executed may be gathered

high. The library 72 feet long, 30 wide, 23 high. The refectory 50 feet
long, 30 wide, 28 high. The corrid
