The Bastille was a French Prison that was raided on July 14th, 1789 and sparked the French Revolution. The prison was located in Paris and was a symbol of the harsh rule of the monarchy. At the time of the attack, the prison only housed seven prisoners. Yet the prisoners were unharmed because the angry mob only come for the ammunition that was stored there. The governor of the prison tried to stop the mob but was unsuccessful. The mob killed and decapitated the governor and took control of the prison. This was the beginning of the French Revolution and the end of the monarchy.

The Old Jewry is where Richard Price gave his famous sermon A Discourse on the Love of Our Country. In this sermon Price commemorated the Glorious Revolution and gave his support for the French Revolution (Libertyfund.org). The Glorious Revolution involved the overthrw of the Catholic king James II, who was replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary and her husban, William of Orange (History.com).
