Lord Brownlow's death some EIGHT
cen months ago without issue and
the consequent disbursal of his vast
estates have brought into the market
large number of treasures of art
and of history, most of which were

contents of aAshridge Park continue

beth and of her cousin and heiress
presumptive to the throne of Eng
land. Mary. Queen of Scots.

nouncements were never sent There
was no occasion to forward them and
they are still preserved to this day

The late Edward VII had the same

scaffold at Whitehall on the day of
his execution. He carried it about
