London，theheadandmetropolisofEngland：calledbyTacitus，Londinium;byPtolemy，Logidinium;byAmmianusMarcellinus，Lundinium;byforeigners，Londra，andLondres;itistheseatoftheBritishEmpire，andthechamberoftheEnglishkings。ThismostancientcityisthethecountyofMiddlesex，thefruitfullestandwholesomestsoilinEngland。ItisbuiltontheriverThames，sixtymilesfromthesea，andwasoriginallyfounded，asallhistoriansagree，byBrutus，who，comingfromGreeceintoItaly，thenceintoAfrica，nextintoFrance，andlastintoBritain，chosethissituationfortheconvenienceoftheriver，callingitTrojaNova，whichnamewasafterwardscorruptedintoTrinovant。ButwhenLud，thebrotherofCassibilan，orCassivelan，whowarredagainstJuliusCaesar，ashehimselfmentions（lib。v。deBell。Gall。），cametothecrown，heencompasseditwithverystrongwalls，andtowersveryartfullyconstructed，andfromhisownnamecalleditCaierLud，I。E。，Lud’sCity。ThisnamewascorruptedintothatofCaerlunda，andagainintime，bychangeoflanguage，intoLondres。Lud，whenhedied，wasburiedinthistown，nearthatgatewhichisyetcalledinWelsh，PorLud——inSaxon，Ludesgate。
