On a tomb lies the curious effigy of Lady Frances, Duchess of .Sufblk, dressed in her proper robes. On an altar-tomb, the figure of Lady Elizabeth RusselU daughter of Lord John Russell, in translucent alabaster, as hard -as marjble.* She died from having pricked her finger with a needle. Near is Lady Jane Seymour. An expensive monument commemorates a master of the buckhounds to Queen Eliza- beth ; a most magnificent temple is erected to the memory of Ann, Duchess of Somerset ; grandee follows n...oble, wit^i effi- gies of wife and children, till the mind is lost in the enume- raticm of names, whose owners exercised their brief autho- rity, left estates, and are thus consigned to a few hundred years of notoriety in the eyes of idle gazers. Enter now Henry the Seventh's chapel, with the points of which you are so familiar. It is dingy with age, but truly beautiful and costly; erected at great expense by the mo- narch whose name it bears, as a place of sepulture for him- self and family, the first stone was laid three hundred and forty years ago, and the whole was completed in nine years, fiime having omitted to transmit the name even of the archi- tect.
