Excerpt: ... knows how slender it is at many times. And now in mine age, my stomach may not away but with a few kind of meats; which if I want, I decay forthwith, and fall into coughs and diseases of my body, and cannot keep myself in health. And as our Lord knoweth, I have nothing left unto me for to provide any better, but as my brother of his own purse layeth out for me to his great hindrance.--Wherefore, good master secretary, eftsoons (again) I beseech you to have some pity upon me, and let me have such things as are necessary for me in mine age, &c. Such is the affecting memorial of one represented by Erasmus to have been "a man of integrity, deep learning, sweetness of temper, and greatness of soul." Cromwell, to his honour be it spoken, relieved the aged sufferer's wants, as far as was consistent with his own safety under an absolute and implacable master Princess (afterwards queen) Elizabeth is said to have been imprisoned in this Tower; but the supposition is wanting in authority Passing on, the attention is called to a water-gate on the right, and the Inner Ballium-gate on the left: the former of these objects is the Traitors'-gate, through which it was customary, for privacy, to convey state-prisoners to and from the Tower, the water of the ditch having here a communication with the Thames under a stone bridge on the Wharf. Over this water-gate is a building, terminated at each end by a round tower, on which are embrazures for pointing cannon. This "building was formerly used as a military infirmary, but now converted into apartments for the soldiery: here are also water-works for supplying the garrison with water, by means of a steam-engine and water-wheel. The building opposite to the Traitors'-gate is known by the appellation of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Tower of London: With a List of Interesting Curiosities Contained Therein There is not, in this country, a building so replete with historical associations as the Tower of London. Its early character as a palace, a prison and a fortress, immediately connected with the metropolis, has rendered an acquaintance with its annals indispensable to a knowledge of the history of our great nation - annals which frequently supply, in their detail, those secret springs of political action, in the absence of which, the historian too frequently substitutes fancy for truth, and consequently produces, in the result of his labours, a mere tale founded on facts. The opinions of antiquaries have been somewhat divided as to the origin of the Tower of London: by some it is supposed to have been erected by Julius Caesar; but the majority have attributed the undertaking to William the Conqueror. The former conjecture was strengthened by a discovery made in 1777: it appears, that while employed in digging the foundations of a new office for the Board of Ordnance, the workmen at a considerable depth, came to some foundations of ancient buildings, below which were found three gold coins and a silver ingot: one of the coins was of the time of the emperor Honorius; the others of Arcadius, his brother, who reigned over the Eastern, as Honorius did over the Western Empire. The ingot was in the form of a double wedge, four inches long, weighing 10 oz. 8 gr. troy, and on the centre was impressed "Ex. Offic. Honorii. But the short time that the Roman conqueror remained in Britain, together with his total silence upon the subject of any such work on his part, are circumstances which have been deemed sufficiently strong to throw considerable doubt upon the Roman origin of these poetically-styled "Towers of Julius: " indeed, antiquarians have become nearly unanimous in ascribing the foundation of this citadel to the policy of the bold Norman.
