a description of the contents of each room, the
cost of fitting up this exhibition must amounted
to Millions of Dollars, in this exhibtion could be
seen the exact appearance of the crowning of
the Queen of England & her courts at various
times & the Kings & Queens of England for centuries

Poets, oretors & Lords of the earth among which
stood General Washington in his dress of state
A Byron, Shakespeer, Voltair, Luther, Calven, Knox
Wesley & many others found among the groop
& what makes the scenery interesting is the
identical coronations robes with all their diamonds
stars pre[c]ious stones & costly array which they wore
in life are there. The sleeping beauty of France
with her jewels jems, necklace of brilliants around
her while her bosom heaves with breath while asleep
