The Equestrian Statue of Charles I - This statue is placed at the top of Charing-Cross; it is of bronze, and bears a strong resemblance of its original. In the heat of rebellion it was put up for sale, and was bought by a cutler, who advertised his design of making it into knives; the demand was great, and all the partisans of the king were purchasers of them. At the restoration of Charles II, the cutler who had buried the statue, made a present of it to the king, who ordered it to be re-placed.
