Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Annus Mirabilis The Great Fire of London, Dryden' s other portent, was spectacular indeed, and tremendous enough to those who witnessed it. But in the summing up of England's affairs, we see now that it was of no appreciable weight or impor tance; and even as regards the city' itself, it was of lasting good rather than harm. It destroyed the noisome seed beds of the plague, and made possible a more sanitary rebuilding, to which, no doubt, London largely owed her subsequent immunity.
