72 TALLIS?S ILLUSTRATED LONDON ;
demagogues, who were only too happy to sneak unscathed
out of the scrape into which they had been hurried by
their own presumption, and a very mistaken impression of
their own prowess. Efforts are making to revive the
Common.
The populous district of Vauxhall was a manor originally
known as Fulke's-hall, which subsequently was corrupted
into Faukeshall, Foxhall, and Vauxhall. Its first name
was derived from Fulke de Breaute, an adherent of King
John, who built a hall or mansion-house in the manor of
South Lambeth, and from his time it was called indiffer-
ently Fulke's-halL or South Lambeth. Edward II. be-
stowed Faukeshall upon Roger Damorie, who, forfeiting
it by treason, it was given to Hugh le Despencer. This
favourite being put to death in 1326, the estate was re-
stored to Damorie^s widow, to whom Edward III. gave in
exchange for it some lands in Suffolk. It was next
granted to Edward the Black Prince, and by him be-
stowed on the see of Canterbury. Vauxhall is one of
the principal manufacturing places in the metropolis.
Here are the London gas-works, distilleries, potteries,
plate-glass works, &c. The far-famed gardens, which we
shall notice hereafter, are the only link to connect Vaux-
hall with the beautiful neighbourhood whereof in time
past they were the centre. Their preservation renders
Vauxhall classic ground, and saves its memory from
being swallowed up in an undistinguished mass of
masonry.
Lambeth is a metropolitan borough, returning two
members to parliament; and the population of this vast
borough, according to the census of 1841, exceeded
197,000, far exceeding that of nearly almost all of our
great provincial manufacturing towns.
