THE TOWER OF LONDON:

Fortress, Palace, and Prison

By CHARLES G. HARPER

Author of “Rural Nooks round London,” “The Histories of English Roads,” etc., etc. With 50 Illustrations.

Crown 8vo, 6s. net.

The Tower of London occupies a position in the history of England unmatched by any of the ancient castles of the land. From the time of William the Conqueror the Tower of London figured forth more and more closely as the centuries went on the story of the English Sovereigns and the English people, and it is not too much to say that the intimate story of the Tower is, in fact, the history of England. In this book an account will be found alike of the Architecture and the living history of the place, and of the prisoners whose blood was shed upon Tower Green or Tower Hill. The illustrations are chiefly from a fine set of photographs by Mr. W. S. Campbell.
