Old London Street Cries.

DATES, unless in the form of the luscious fruit of Smyrna, are generallydry. It is enough therefore to state that the earliest mention of LondonCries is found in a quaint old ballad entitled “London Lyckpenny,” orLack penny, by that prolific writer, John Lydgate, a Benedictine monk ofBury St. Edmunds, who flourished about the middle of the fifteenthcentury.

These cries are particularly quaint, and especially valuable as a recordof the daily life of the time.
