The Tomb of Geoffrey Chaucer in Westminster Abbey is fast mouldering
into irretrievable decay. A sum of One Hundred Pounds will effect a
perfect repair. The Committee have not thought it right to fix any limit
to the subscription, they themselves have opened the list with a
contribution from each of them of Five Shillings; but they will be ready
to receive any amount, more or less, which those who value poetry and
honour Chaucer may be kind enough to remit to them.
Subscriptions have been received from the Earls of Carlisle, Ellesmere,
and Shaftesbury, Viscounts Strangford and Mahon, Pres. Soc. Antiq., The
Lords Braybrooke and Londesborough, and many other noblemen and
gentlemen.
Subscriptions are received by all the members of the Committee, and at
the Union Bank, Pall Mall East. Post-Office orders may be made payable
at the Charing Cross Office, to William Richard Drake, Esq., the
Treasurer, 46. Parliament Street, or William J. Thoms, Esq., Hon. Sec.,
25. Holy-Well Street, Millbank.
