"SERJEANT'S-INN, Fleet street, is about fifty houses on the right hand side of the street, going from Temple-bar. It was formerly an inn of court, but is now private property. It consists of a small quadrangle of handsome dwelling houses, principally occupied by barristers and solicitors. On the eastern side is the handsome edifice belonging to the Amicable Society designed by Mr. Adam." [J. Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
