The tomb of Edward the First, who died in
1907, was opened Jan. q, ITO, after A6S years
had elapsed. His body was almost perfect.
Csnute (the Dane), who crossed over to Eng
land in I017, was found in 1776 by the workmen
who repaired Winchester Cathedral, where his
body had reposed nearly 750 years, perfectly
fresh. In 1869 three Roman soldiers, fully
equipped with warlike Implements, were dug
out OF a bed of peat in Ireland, where they had
lain probably. 1900 years. Their bodies were
perfectly fresh and plump.
In the reign of JAMES II. of England, after the
fall of the church at Ashley, In Warwiokshire,
there was taken up the corpse OF Thomas Gray,
Marquis of Dorset, who was buried there the
10th of October, 1850, in the twepty-second-yea
of Henry VIII; although il had lain thore sew
enty-eight years, the eyes, hair, flesh, nails, and
joints remained IS though 1t had been but newly
buried.
Robert Braybrook, who was conseorated Bish-
op of London in 1881, and who died IN 1404 and
was buried in 81. Pauls, was taken out of his
tomb after the great FIRE In 1865, during the re-
pairs of the cathedral, and although he had lain
there no less than 262 years, bis body was found
