A globe and sceptre made for the late Queen Mary. 14. An ivory sceptre with a dove, made for the late King James's queen. 15. The golden spurs and the armillas that are worn at the coronation.

The Tower where the lions and other savage animals are kept is on the right hand, on the outside the ditch, as we enter the fortress. |
