A plan for a new town is already drawn, which is to consist of fifteen hundred houses, built of an equal height, and in the most regular manner. This town is to be built on the left of Shooter's hill in Kent, in a circular form, with a noble assembly room in the middle, and is to be called New Plumstead; and, when finished, it is supposed will be the most beautiful thing of its kind in Europe, as it commands a most delightful prospect for many miles over the river Thames, and springs of water are even with the ground.
