Two Swords of Justice, Ecclesiastical and Civil.

Also the State Sword offered at the coronation of His Majesty Edward
VII, with richly jewelled hilt and scabbard.

In the central case is a model of the Koh-i-noor in its original
setting.

In the cases in the recesses are also exhibited the insignia of the
British and Indian orders of Knighthood, their collars, stars, and
badges, and the Victoria Cross.

Leaving the Wakefield Tower, we descend the slope and turn to the left
near the site of what was the Cold Harbour Tower, a name the exact
meaning of which is unknown. The original Jewel House was behind it to
the east, forming with the south side of the White Tower, and portions
of the palace, a small courtyard, in which some remains of the ancient
buildings may still be traced. On a raised platform is the gun-carriage
and limber on which the body of Her Majesty the late Queen Victoria
was conveyed on the occasion of her funeral, 2nd February, 1901, from
Windsor Railway Station to St. George's Chapel. This was placed here by
order of the Houses of Parliament. We now reach a doorway made in the
south wall of the


_White Tower_ (Pl. VII),

or Keep, the oldest part of the whole fortress.
