Excerpt from The Tower of London, Vol. 2 of 2 Owing to the plague then raging in London, the customary procession at the coronation was omitted, although the King rode in state from the Tower to Westminster, preparatory to the Opening of his first Parliament on 1sth Of March 1605, as the Londoners had made their welcome for him ready. In Mr Sidney Lee's Life of Shakespeare, he states that Shakespeare, with eight other players of the King's company of actors, walked from the Tower of London to Westminster in the procession which accompanied the King in his formal entry into London. Each actor received four and a half yards of scarlet cloth to wear as a cloak on the occasion, and in the document authorising the grant, Shakespeare's name stands first on the list. This is the only time that we can positively know that Shakespeare was ever at the Tower; but his frequent introduction Of the fortress into his historical dramas makes it certain that he must often have visited a place so full of dramatic episodes and historical memories.

Excerpt from The Tower of London, Vol. 1 of 2 It would be vain to search any other city, Rome itself not excepted, for another such group of buildings, or to match the historic interest and splendid record of the ancient Norman structure. The Tower is indeed rife with interest; the most dramatic events of our country's history during more than seven hundred years have been enacted within or near its walls. To see it is to conjure up a vision of scenes, some brilliant and stately, some tragic and awful, but all full of deepest interest to the hearts and minds of Britons, to whom the history of their land is dear. Although several works - some voluminous, such as the two ponderous quartos by John Bayley, published in 182 5, and some more recent, such as the histories of the Tower by Britton and Brayley, and, more recently still, those by Lord de Ros and Doyne Bell - have appeared, I venture to think that in writing the present account of the Tower I have not undertaken a thankless or a useless task.
