Today it is difficult to recognize in their irregularity the formative process of the city consists of these two types of urban clusters: alignments built around ancient rural roads interconnecting the primitive city and more regular paths based on unit occupancy performances of many estates that have come to constitute the first periphery developed.

On the demolition of Bedford House, the adjoining lands were laid out for building purposes, and Russell and Bedford Squares were erected about the year , and were named after the Russells, Earls and Dukes of Bedford. For some time previously—as we have already shown in our account of Bloomsbury Square, Great Ormond Street, and other places in the locality—many of the houses in the immediate neighbourhood were very extensively inhabited by judges and successful lawyers; and on the building of the above squares the houses were so largely taken up by members of the legal profession, on account of their nearness to Lincoln's Inn, that in course of time the epithet of "Judge-land" came to be applied to this particular part of Bloomsbury, in much the same manner as in late years Pall Mall and its neighbourhood came to be called "Club-land.
Russell Square, which we enter at the western end of Guilford Street, occupies part of what in was called Southampton Fields, but what in later times became known as Long Fields.
At the beginning of the present century, Long Fields lay waste and useless. There were nursery grounds northward; towards the north-west were the grounds of the Toxophilite Society; Bedford House, with its lawn and magnificent gardens planted with limetrees, occupied the south side; whilst Baltimore House, long the residence of Lord Chancellor Loughborough, stood on the east side, at the corner of Guilford Street.
This square is one of the largest in the metropolis; in fact, it is the next largest to Lincoln's Inn Fields. The houses are of brick, with the lower part in some cases cemented. Something of an architectural character is given to a block on the west side, between Montagu Place and Keppel Street, but the majority of the houses are better inside than out. On the south side of thecentral enclosure, looking down Bedford Place, and facing the monument to Fox in Bloomsbury Square, is a statue which recalls to mind one of those illustrious statesmen of ancient Rome, whose time was divided between the labours of the Senate and those of their Sabine farms.
The statue represents that eminent and patriotic agriculturist, Francis, the fifth Duke of Bedford, with one hand resting on a plough, while in the other he holds some ears of corn. There are four emblematical figures at the corners of the pedestal, which is adorned in bas-relief with various rural attributes.
The statue—a very fine specimen of Sir Richard Westmacott's best style—was erected in A writer in the St. James's Magazine thus speaks of this locality: "Russell Square is, under ordinary circumstances, a very nice place to walk in. If those troublesome railway vans and goods wagons would not come lumbering and clattering, by way of Southampton Row, through the square, and up Guilford Street, on their way to King's Cross, 'La Place Roussell' would be as cosy and tranquil as 'La Place Royale' in Paris.
It has the vastness of Lincoln's Inn Fields without its dinginess. The handsome mansion on the south-east side of the square, at the corner of Guilford Street, was built, in , for the eccentric and profligate Lord Baltimore; and, as we have already stated, it was at first called Baltimore House.
Hither his lordship decoyed a young milliner, Sarah Woodcock, and was prosecuted for having caused her ruin, but acquitted. He died in at Naples, whence his remains were brought to London, and lay in state, as we have mentioned, at Exeter Change.
The house was subsequently occupied by the equally eccentric Duke of Bolton, whose name was then given to it. Northouck remarks, wittily and truly, that "it was either built without a plan, or else has had very whimsical owners; for the door has been shifted to different parts of the house, until at last it is lost to all outward appearance, being now carried into the stable-yard!
The Duke of Bolton, who was, of course, known as Lord Henry Powlett during his elder brother's life, served in early life in the navy, in which, however, if we may believe Sir N. Wraxall, "he had gained no laurels. Lord Loughborough, though an Erskine by birth, was a "paltry and servile politician," according to Lord Holland.
When the square was laid out for building, Bolton House was the only mansion standing, and this was incorporated into the rest of the square, though somewhat incongruously; and though it is now divided into two large residences, it still retains its name of Bolton House.
Passing to the other mansions in the square, we may state that Sir Samuel Romilly lived and died by his own hand at No. Justice Holroyd at No. Tooke, F. At No. Talfourd, a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, who died suddenly, in , in the court-house at Stafford, while addressing the grand jury.
