To any library, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure so valuable and interesting a collection of objects concerned with many of the greatest events of English history, at a nominal price. To collectors, also, the work will prove of great interest, covering as it does, the period from Elizabeth to Victoria. From the list of illustrations I select:
I. The Swords of Oliver Cromwell and John Hampden. II. The Walking Stick of Sir Francis Drake and the Sword of Captain Cook. III. The Sword of General Wolfe. IV. The Main Royal Masthead of “L’Orient,” Flagship of the French fleet at the battle of the Nile. V. The Sash by which the body of Sir John Moore was lowered to the grave. VI. Wellington’s Waterloo Sword and Cocked Hat. VII. Swords surrendered to Major Hodson (of “Hodson’s Horse”) by the King and Princes at Delhi. VIII. The Bible and Silk Scarf of General Charles George Gordon, of Khartoum.
