Gen. Gordon's Bible.

In the corridors at Windsor stands a little ebony pedestal, and on it a splendid casket of seventeenth century Italian work, with sides of engraved rdck crystal. Within this gorgeous editing lies wide open, on a satin cushion, a little well-worn book. It is Gen. Gordon’s Bible, and is open at the gospel according to St. John. Below a little plate bears an inscription recording the fact that the Bible was presented to her majesty by the sister of Qen. Gordon after his death. This was one of the most prized possessions of Queen Victoria, and she never failed to point it out to visitors.
