Highgate Cemetery is well worth visiting for the view
of London that it affords. Coleridge and his daugh-
ter Sara are buried here.
Bunhill Fields Burial Ground^ near Finsbury Square,
has been called " the Campo Santo of Dissenters." It
contains the tombs of Defoe, Bunyan, George Fox the
Quaker, Dr. Watts, the mother of the Wesleys, Ritson
the antiquary, and others. More than a hundred
thousand persons have been buried in this cemetery
of less than four acres.
