The sculpture on the west panel of the pedestal, facing Fish Street Hill, is a basso-relievo by Caius Gabriel Cibber, the sculptor, which represents the King affording protection to the desolate City and, freedom to its rebuilders and inhabitants.

The design is allegorical and displays a female figure, representing the City of London, sitting on ruins in a languishing condition, her head hanging down, her hair dishevelled and her left hand lying carelessly upon her sword; behind is Time with his wings and bald head, gradually raising her up. Another female figure by her side gently touches her with one hand and, with a winged sceptre in the other, points upwards to two goddesses sitting in the clouds, one with a cornucopia, denoting Plenty, the other having a palm branch in her left hand, signifying Peace. At her feet is a bee-hive, denoting Industry, by which the greatest difficulties can be surmounted. Beneath the figure of London, in the midst of the ruins, is a dragon supporting a shield bearing the arms of the City of London. Over her head are shown houses burning and flames breaking out through the windows. Behind Time is a group of citizens raising -their hands in encouragement.

Opposite these figures is a pavement of stone raised with three or four steps, on which stands King Charles II in Roman costume, with a baton in his right hand and a laurel wreath on his head, corning towards the City of London, and commanding three of his attendants to descend to her relief. The first represents Science, with a winged head and a circle of naked boys dancing on it, and in her hand a figure of Nature with her numerous breasts ready to give assistance to all. The second is Architecture holding in the right hand a plan, and in the left, a square and compasses. The third figure is Liberty waving a cap in the air.
Behind the King stands his brother, the Duke of York, holding in one hand a garland to crown the rising city, and in the other an uplifted sword for her defence.The two figures behind are justice with a coronet, and Fortitude with a reined lion. Above these figures are represented houses in building and labourers at work. Lastly, underneath the stone pavement on which the King stands, is a figure of Envy gnawing a heart and emitting contagious fumes from her envenomed mouth.

Question by Skylar Scandalous: Title Ideas…Please read on…?
I writing a book about a middle-class, ugly girl who moves to the wealthy, exclusive and glam Manhattan Suburbs called Hilton Parks because her dad got a job raise. When she goes to her new private, rich high school (she’s a freshman), she is invisible and everyone ignores her or talks behind her back, so let’s just say she doesn’t fit in because of her hideous clothes, shy, pushover personality and ugly stuff. She makes a couple of best friends there too and they become tight. Suddenly the school’s most popular clique a.k.a School Royalty invites her in to be a member of their clique. The clique is mean, vicious, snobby, vain, conceited, gorgeous and has everyone bowing down to them and worshiping their every move. The new girl joins because she will do whatever it takes to be popular. They transform her in every aspect and she becomes like them in every way. Will she go back to her normal life because of regret or will she stick it out as one of the Queen Bees.

Any Titles?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to seem like I’m copying The Clique or Means girls when I wrote the summary. I didn’t do it on purpose! Sorry, wasn’t thinking! I just love the whole ugly girl turns into a clique girl plot, lol!

Again, Sorry!

  1. yes – just call it The Clique Part Deux – that;s what it is. You even use the NY suburbs. This subject has been done to death. What is it about your work that makes it original? So far, I just see another Clique book and a potential lawsuit in your future. Pax – C
