a village of Middlesex, and the first village from London on the great western road. It lies in the parishes of St Margaret's Westminster, and St George by Hanover Square; and has a chapel, which is nevertheless independent. At the entrance of it from London stands that noble infirmary for sick and wounded, called St George's Hospital, erected and maintained by the contributions of our nobility and gentry, of whom there are no less than 300 governors. In the centre of this village, there is a fabric lately erected, where is carried on one of the most considerable manufactures in England for painting floor-cloths, &c.
