The Tomb of Geoffrey Chaucer in Westminster Abbey is fast mouldering into irretrievable decay.  A sum of One Hundred Pounds will effect a perfect repair.  The Committee have not thought it right to fix any limit to the subscription, they themselves have opened the list with a contribution from each of them of Five Shillings; but they will be ready to receive any amount, more or less, which those who value poetry and honour Chaucer may be kind enough to remit to them.

Subscriptions have been received from the Earls of Carlisle, Ellesmere, and Shaftesbury, Viscounts Strangford and Mahon, Pres.  Soc.  Antiq., The Lords Braybrooke and Londesborough, and many other noblemen and gentlemen.

Subscriptions are received by all the members of the Committee, and at the Union Bank, Pall Mall East.  Post-Office orders may be made payable at the Charing Cross Office, to William Richard Drake, Esq., the Treasurer, 46.  Parliament Street, or William J. Thoms, Esq., Hon. Sec., 25.  Holy-Well Street, Millbank.
