Show Pcets' Wills. Famous poets make Interesting wills. Browning'H was written in his own beautiful hand, Uth the Initials of all the nouns substantive in capitals, capi-tals, after the olden use; and the attesting at-testing witnesses were "A. Tennyson" and "F. T. Palgrave." liiutthew Arnold's, Ar-nold's, also referred to, was remarkable remarka-ble for Its brevity. A baker's dozen of words were deemed enough.: "I leave everything cf which 1 die possessed to 1 my wife Frances Lucy." This, however, how-ever, because no executor was appointed, ap-pointed, had to be set aside for letters of administration; but the result was the same. These two famous wills form, with Shakespeare's, the most notable trio perhaps ever handled by probate in England. |
