Committee for the Repair of the
TOMB OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER.
JOHN BRUCE, Esq., Treas. S.A.
J. PAYNE COLLIER, Esq., V.P.S.A.
PETER CUNNINGHAM, Esq., F.S.A.
THOMAS W. KING, Esq., F.S.A.
SIR FREDERICK MADDEN, K.H.

SAMUEL SHEPHERD, Esq., F.S.A.
WILLIAM J. THOMS, Esq., F.S.A.
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.
