On The West Side Of The Pedestal Is Neatly Cut In Relievo The Figure Of A Cupid Reposing His Right Hand On A Shield Containing The Arms Of England And France Quartered, And In His Left Hand A Rose.

On the north side are the arms of Ireland on a shield, supported by a Cupid.

On the east side the arms of Scotland, with a Cupid holding a thistle all in relievo.

The inner piazza and court are divided into several stations, or walks, where the merchants of the respective nations, and those who have business with them, assemble distinctly; so that any merchant or commander of a vessel is readily found, if it be known to what country he trades. The several walks are described in the following ground-plot of the Exchange:-
