An historical human Uranium hes "a

weight of evidence seems to shox t|,s
this grizzly relic is the head Of He..rs

posse Of antiquaries hare nafurzl1V
rushed into print On the sneelecfe@
relic question and are efAracteristica7{
at loggerheads over the Duke n
Suffolk's skull. One gentleman sur~

noble house Of Dartmouth; but another
learned pundit points ont that. in fh6

has been contended that the property ID
the head hes either IN the Duke Of
buckingham and Chandos or in the earl
Of Stamford and Warrington, while an
other enthusiastic amateur Of ehastly
sight proposes that the ugly thing
should be placed in d glass case for ex-
hibition in the National Portrait
Gallery. At all events, It seems ezpedi<
ent that something definitire should be
done with the head, and that speedily.
For many years, it is stated, the sexton
or the clerk at the Church Of the Holy
Trinity has been IN the habit OF exhibit

Minories will, ere long, be demolished
to make way for Q further exteusion fif
the Metropolitan railway In view sf
this contingency, it would certainly Be
advisable to find an asylum for the head,
and at least one proposal marked By
common sense has been made, TO the
effect that the .relicr should find decent

lineal descendenfs of the Duke survive,

Majesty to place 3 suitable inscription
