To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE GOLD PANTRY.
The rare and costly articles contained in the Gold Pantry would alone be well worthy a, journey to have the privilege of inspecting. Tickets can be obtained from the Lord Steward and the Master of the Household, but only by special favour.
It is impossible to describe a tenth, or even a hundredth part, of those valuable works of art. We must, therefore, content our readers by referring to a few of the most highly prized and curious.
The celebrated Huma, representing the figure ...of a bird studded with precious stones, supposed to be worth upwards of 30, 000, and captured from Tippoo Saib at the storming of Seringapatam, is one of the greatest objects of interest in the royal collection. The tiger's head, of solid gold, and as large as life, is of immense value ; it was also taken at Seringapatam, and both the Huma and the head were presented to George III by the Marquis of Wellesley.
It is as well to notice here that the Huma, tiger's head, and various other extraordinary specimens of art which had for years adorned the Gold Pantry, have lately been removed to what is now called the NORTH CORRIDOR, which consists of compartments fitted up with the most exquisite taste ; in which also will be found arms and accoutrements both antient and modern richly inlaid with gold, ivory, pearls, and jewels, and the rich oriental presents which have from time to time been presented to the Sovereigns of England.
