It will be remembered that the honour of having arrested Faukes has been claimed for one of the name of Heywood.
The history of the famous lantern has not escaped the variations which we are accustomed to meet with on other points. Faukes is generally said to have been found with it in his hands, and it has consequently become an inseparable adjunct in pictures of him. On the other hand, we are told, "In a corner, behind the door, was a dark lantern containing a light" (Brayley and Britton, Palace of Westminster, p. 377).
Thomas Percy [(p. 149).]
From Grainger.
Around the portrait are four small engravings representing:
- The arrest of Guy Faukes, who is here called "Thomas Ichrup."
- The presentation of Thomas Ichrup to the King of Jerusalem (i.e., the British Solomon).
- The assault and bombardment of the "citadel" to which Percy has fled.
- Percy killed by an arrow.
Thomas Winter's Confession [(p. 168).]
A portion of the copy of Winter's confession, in the handwriting of Levinus Munck, Lord Salisbury's private secretary, and dated November 23rd. In the margin is a note in the handwriting of King James, objecting to a certain "uncleare phrase," which has been altered in accordance with the royal wish. In the printed version it appears in the amended form.
