1635.] OF THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER. 21 



The annexed engraving represents a view of that 

 side of the Citadel which looks across the moat towards 

 the castle; that is, across the place where a bridge 

 once stood, and opposite the Fountain Court. Com 

 mencing from below we observe a gothic doorway, 

 which was the entrance to the draw and the permanent 

 bridges. Over the arched interior of this entrance is a 

 chamber or cell, measuring about seven feet by five feet, 

 and better than six feet high in the centre. On the out 

 side front of the cell are seen indications of two square 

 places ; and above them, one to each, two upright 

 channels or grooves, each one foot wide and the same 

 in depth. Adjoining is another groove but termina

 a half in width, connected a little way up with the large 

 groove. This second portion has a distinct cell behind 

 it, less in dimensions than the first. From the summit 

 of the three large vertical channels to the ground 

 measures forty-six feet.

 small steam boiler in each cell, and the pipes from 

 those boilers might have been enclosed in the grooves 

 described, entering inwards at top to discharge their 

 contents into a cistern on the Citadel roof. And the 

 boilers might have been conveniently supplied with 

 water from the moat either by hand pumps, or by 

 forming a vacuum for that purpose. It is here, how 

 ever, unnecessary to enter upon mechanical details, as 

 the subject will appear at large when describing his 

 matured Invention. 



That inimitable portrait painter Vandyck, who was 

 born 1598-9, studied under Rubens, and was an especial 

 favourite with Charles the First, has undoubtedly left us 

 a faithful portraiture of the features of both his Lordship 

 and of Elizabeth his first wife ; the former dating pro-
