The Origin of Larry Curzon's Palace

Julian Ralph in Harper's Weekly.
Lord Wellesley built this palace. copying
it from the mansion which has descended
to Lord Curzon from his ancestors. aud
in which he spent his boyhood. That house
is Kedleston hall, in Derbyshire, one of the
noted mansions of Great Britain. Welles-
ley had visited its owner, and was so i'm
pressed by its stately grandeur that when
the opportunity came for him to put UP
the first English governmental palace in
India he could think of nothing better
than to copy this noble pile He improved
upon the original. He made the four
great wings each three stories high to
match the central building. They are a
story lower in the Curzon mansion in
Derbyshire.
1t is a strange trick of fortune which
now brings Lord Curzon to rule India
Burmah, and the other allied dominions
under his control from what seems the
very hall in which he spent his boyhood
in the mother-land. More curious yet Is
the tale now whispered by those who are
near to him, to the effect that when he
saw the palace on his first visit to India
a strange but powerful superstition seized
his mind. and he said 10 himself. IT shall
