A VISIT TO SOMERSET HOUSE.
FAMOUS AND CURIOPS WILLS.
Somerset House is not, a show place. all very few people, except officials. have seen the beautiful decorated rooms where the Royal Academy and the Royal Society had their first home Nor are. the rich treasures of the records ever exhibited to tourists.

The visit on a recruit afternoon, says the 3fanchester Canrama, of a party from overseas-one of a series of visits to his torial London places arranged in aid of King Edward's Hospital Fund gave an unusual opportunity for exploring wonders behinal Sir William Chamber's imposing facade. Normally the vrators to Somerset House are the people who pay a shilling, to look up the records of births, marriages, or feath, am sit

In the Probate Registry the party was The shown the s of famous men. great treasure among these is, of course. the will of Shakespeare. It is possible to see this will like an ennen man's will by paying a shilling, but "fortunately, perhaps for the peace of the
depart ment. this fact is not generally known. Shakerspeare's will, a broad sheet of yellowed paper written over with the Breisve writing of the Stratford notary is kept under glass. Decisive as it is, the caligraphy is indecipherable new, but one can make out the famous clause:
Item 1 gre unto my wief my second best be with the furniture. The signature is nearly worn away by the bugers of centuries of investigators, But it is boldly written by Sharespeare and still unmistakable.
NELSON'S WILE
The interesting thing about Nelson's will is the cul which was tout-n year after his death in n 'bort of log- book bound in Russin leather, in which. along with day by day records of his last. day to sen, comes the prayer written on the 21st October, 1505, before Tra "falgar:
May the great God whom I worship and for the benefit
grant to my co a great and glori.....
of Europe in
ous victory, and may no misconduct In any one tarnish it, and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature of the British deet.
"On the same day Nelson wrote a codicil 10 which he leaves Lady Hamilton:
As a legacy to my King and coun- try, that ry, will give her ample pro- vision to maintain ber rank in life, These are the only favours I ask of iny country at this moment when I am going to fight her battle.
The Duke of Wellington's will explains in his own handwriting that he is making
it:
"An attempt having been made to assassinate me during the night of the 10th inst.. which may be repeated with success, and being desirous of settling my family affairs."
Gladston wrote his will in 1598 in a little notebook with a green back. Dr. Johnson's will in 1754 is full of character. The earliest will at Somerset House is 1478. but the series is not .com- dated, plete "autil after 1555, One of the eur 10ties is a plague will, which was dis- infected by being put in a bottle of
spirit, There is a sailor's will which was found in a tinbox in a wreck. the will of one of the Earls of Scarborough, which was found hidden in the leg of a bed, and my other curiosities, including a will, written in shorthand of a special kind. the testator having felt the key bébinl
