APPENDIX A.
NOTES ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
[Frontispiece.] The Powder Plot. I.
From the Crace Collection, British Museum, Portf. xv. 20. Thus described in the catalogue of the collection:
"A small etching of the House of Lords. Guy Fawkes in the foreground. W.E. exc. 1605."
This plate is of exceptional interest as having been executed within five months of the discovery of the Plot, i.e., previously to March 25th, 1606, the first day of the year, Old Style.
Guy Faukes is represented as approaching the House of Commons (St. Stephen's Chapel), not the House of Lords, as the catalogue says.
