Windsor Castle is situated on the right 

 bank of the Thames, twenty-three miles west 

 of London, near the town of Windsor. The 

 royal residence and the buildings connected 

 with it cover twelve acres of ground, and stand 

 in the midst of a park known as " Little 

 Park,-" which is four miles in circumference, 

 and is connected by a long avenue of trees, 

 south of the castle, with the " Great Park," 

 which is eighteen miles in circuit. The castle 

 was founded by William the Conqueror. The 

 original plans were enlarged upon and com- 

 pleted by Henry I., and the castle was first 

 used as a royal residence about 1110. The 

 history of the existing edifice, however, begins 

 in the reign of Henry III., but it was not until 

 the time of Edward III. that all its portions 

 were completed. The buildings may be said 

 to be grouped in three portions the middle 

 ward containing the Round Tower, which was 

 built by Edward III., in the eighteenth year 

 of his reign, to receive the Round Table of the 

 Knights of the newly formed Order of the 

 Garter ; the lower ward, on the west, contain- 

 ing St. George's chapel, which was begun by 

 Henry III., completed by Edward III., rebuilt 

 by Henry VII., and added to by Cardinal 

 Wolsey, and the houses of the military 

 knights, cloisters, etc. ; and the upper ward, 

 on the east, containing the sovereign's private 

 apartments. Some additions were made to 

 the buildings by Henry VIII., and Queen 

 Elizabeth formed the terraces and built the 

 gate now called by her name. The Star build- 

 ing was erected by Charles II. In 1824-'28, 

 the castle was repaired and enlarged ; but little 

 alteration has since been made. The park and 

 forest immediately adjoining contain many 

 historical trees such as Elizabeth's Oak; 

 Shakespeare's Oak ; the Long Walk, made in 

 the reign of Charles II. ; and Queen Anne's 

 Ride of Elms, three miles long. Herne's Oak, 

 rendered so famous by Shakespeare, was blown 

 down in September, 1863, and a stone and a 

 young tree now mark the spot. The oldest 

 planted timber in England that of the reign 

 of Elizabeth is also in Windsor Park ; and
