The Shakespeare Fund was established in October, 1861, to accomphsh the following objects, — 1. The purchase of the Gardens of Shakespeare at New Place. 2. The purchase of the remainder of the Birth-place Estate. 3. The purchase of Anne Hathaway's Cottage, with an endowment for a custodian. 4. The purchase of Getley's Copyhold, Stratford-on-Avon. 5. The purchase of any other properties, at or near Stratford-on-Avon, that either formerly belonged to Shakespeare, or are intimately connected with the memories of his life. 6. The calendering and preservation of those records at Stratford-on-Avon which illustrate the Poet's life, or the social life and history of Stratford-on-Avon m his time. And 7. The erection and endowment of a Public Library and Museum at Stratford-on-Avon.
The list of objects to be accomplished appeared to be so formidable, that the project was re- garded in many quarters as chimerical. Neverthe- less, in the few years which have elapsed since the establishment of the Fund, three of the most im- portant of the above-named objects have been nearly completed, and, amongst them, the formation of the

MI8S WHELEli.
For upwards of half a ceutuiy the hite Mi'. Wheler dihgently occupied himself in the coiupletioii of one of the most remarkable local antiquarian collections ever formed by a single individual. The following pages, being merely a brief hand-list of these treasures, convey a very inadequate idea of their importance and value ; but as the construction of a more elaborate calendar would have required a con- siderable time, it was thought that a sketch of the contents of the collection would be an acceptable offering to the public, especially to the inhabitants of Stratford, who will not fail to appreciate the generosity of Miss Wheler in presenting the Town with so important a gift, and the judgment which dictated the place of its locality. It would not only have been sad, and an injury to the local topographical literature, had these collections, formed by so much labour and anxiety, ever been dispersed ; but they would have lost much of their interest and value had they been allowed to depart from Stratford.
The late Robert Bell Wheler was born at Strat- ford on January 1st, 1785, in the house in Old Town in which he continued to reside during his life, and
8 1'i;i;si;nti:ii ijv
wlieiv lie died oil July I'llli, 1857, iiL-'i'd 7l'. His father, Mr. Robert Wlieler, his ])rcdecessor in his ]ir()tessi()i! of ii solicitor, entered the office of Mr. liradley, the Town-Clerk, and a .solicitor of largo practice, in January, 1757. He died in August, 1819, aged 77. His son, the object of this notice, was articled to him, but, unlike most articled clerks, he served no part of his time in Ijondon, merely going there for about a month at the time of his admission. His affection for Stratford, and love for Shakespcrian pursuits, were so intense that he never seemed to l)e ha])py out of his native town ; so that, in the whole course of his h^ng life, he spent very little portion of his time indectl out of Stratford. In early life he was a member of the Stratford volunteer corps, and he afterwards became a connnissioned officer, a lieutenant and (|uarter-master, in the third regiment of the Warwickshire local militia stationed at Stratford, in which capacity he was much esteemed by his brother officers and by Colonel Slieldon, then in command of the regiment.
]\[r. AVlieler's first Avork, and that by which lie is chiefly known, is the admirably compiled " History and Anti(juities of Stratfoi'd-upon-Avon," published in 18(M). His next separate production was a " Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon," 1814, one which is well termed by a distinguished writer, " a very superior liook to many which l)ear a similar title," llinilir oil S/i'i/ri'spridT, i. 1()7. This was followed, in 1824, by his excellent sketch of the history of Shakespeare's Birth-])lace. Besides these works he was the writer of sever.nl ;n-ticles of interest in the ( Jciil Icnian's Magazine, and other ])ei-iodicals.
His i)nl)lished works, however, lorin but a small

part of the results of his labours, the extent of which will only be duly estimated by the careful examiner of the present collection. Upon his autograph manuscripts in this collection will henceforth rest his principal title to literary distinction, and in securing them for ever to Stratford, his surviving sister, Miss Anne Wheler, has paid the best possible tribute to his memory, and realized his own most probable aspirations.
1. Collectanea de Stratford. 4to. MS.
This marvellous example of the results of the un- rivalled industry and accuracy of the late Mr. Wheler, in 536 quarto pages, so minutely written, that a transcript in ordinary calligraphy would fill half-a- dozen volumes of a like size, well deserves to be placed in the fore-front of this little catalogue ; and the rather that we are enabled to add an excellent index to the principal contents of the volume, from the equally accurate pen of Mr. W. 0. Hunt.

3. A Series of Roman Coins, first, second, and third brass, found at Stratford-on-Avon l)etween tlie years 1800 and 1850. They consist of about eighty specimens, ranging from Germanicus, B.C. 15, to Gratianus, a.d. 3()7 ; inchiding Nero, Vespasian, Antoninns Pius, A'^erus, Commodus, Phihppus, Postu- mus, GaUienus, Maximianus, Claudius Gothicus, Tetricus, Constantine, Crispus, Decentius, Magnen- tius, and Gratianus. Tlie only empress whose coins appear among the series is Faustina the younger, wife of Marcus Aurelius. As usual with hoards of coins found in England, those of Constantine greatly preponderate ; in this instance about half the entire number belonging to the reign of that emperor. There are no remarkable or rare reverses in the col- lection, the most interesting being those of Antoninus Pius, with Britannia seated on a rock, and those struck l)y the usurping Roman governors Carausius and Allectus, in Britain.
All these, with one exception, were found at Stratford-on-Avon, the exception consisting of a lliii'd brass, wins . koma, with the wolf and twins on the reverse, found at Welcombe in 1831.
4. A Series of about forty Roman Coins, similar to the above, generally in bad condition. They were found at Stratford-on-Avon in various years before 1800.

not long dead, and in the agonies of despair, hunger, and perhaps madness, she had bitten a large piece from her round white shoulder. Such is the leofend as it has been handed down. I know of no TNTitten record extant, though I have been told the story is to be found in print. It is singular that such a Capulet tomb should have actually been in the church of Stratford-upon-Avon."
1148. A variety of articles discovered in the excavations at New Place, including a very curious old knife of the Shakspearian era, a candlestick of a later period, fragments of cornices, tobacco-pipes of the seventeenth centmy, fossils, pieces of glass, earthenware, china, coal, iron, &c.

THE SHAKESPEARE FUND.
This Fund originated in 1861, in an emergency whicli threatened the integrity of the site of New Place and the Gardens of Shakespeare. Its objects are enumerated at p. 5, but the main designs at present are to complete the work commenced at New Place and to increase the efficiency of the Library and Museum. The other unattained objects of the Fund must remain in abeyance until these are satisfactorily accomplished.
A small portion of Shakespeare's Gardens at New Place remains to be purchased. The custodian's house requires a new front, and a considerable expenditure is necessary to lay out the grounds properly and surround them with substantial iron fencing. Independently of the question of an endow- ment for a custodian, the sum wanted immediately for these purposes cannot fall much short of £2000.
The first establishment of the Library and Museum is due to the well-timed liberahty of Mr. C. Holte Bracebridge of Atherstone Hall, who kindly placed the dilapidated rooms of the house adjoining the Birth -Place in Henley Street in a fit state for the reception of cases. When once a suitable repository was accessible, presents of great value soon accumu-

lated. The rapid progress of the collection is, however, mainly due to the unwearied diligence and exertions of Mr. W. O. Hunt, whose position at Stratfoi'd-on-Avon has enal)le(l him to secure a large number of interesting objects which would otherwise have been dispersed or lost. The manage- ment of the library and Museum is now vested (see p. 6) in a Board of Trustees.
The amount hitherto received on behalf of the Fund amounts to £4188, but it is hoped that this sum will be rapidly increased when the objects are more generally known. The assistance which no doubt could be derived from local committees and secretaries, concerts, bazaars, readings and theatrical performances, has barely yet been invoked. The IJnitcd States, where Shaksperian readers and pilgrims to Stratford-on-Avon are so numerous, have as yet made no sign, and probably are unacquainted with the progress made and desired. A few earnest workers in the cause would speedily raise the comparatively small amount (£2000) at present urgently required.
The progress which has thus far been made is due in a great measure to the zeal and to the con- triljutions of a few. Miss Burdett Coutts, with unvarying munificence, contributed £600 ; and the sum of £2585 has been raised l)y twenty other subscribers of £100 and upwards. In addition to these gifts, and to those enumerated in the following lists, the Fimd has indirectly benefited by gi'atuitous services. Mr. Arthur ,). Wood, brirrister-at-law, has declined fees for valuable legal assistance. Mr. Edward Gibbs, the accomplished and well-known architect of Stratford-on-Avon, presented the amount

of his costs, £55. Miscellaneous expenses incurred previously to the audit of March, 1862, amounting to £105. 12. 0, were presented by Mr. Halliwell.
The auditors are nominated by the leading sub- scribers to the Fund, every one subscribing £100 having the option to act himself as an auditor, or to nominate one, and to call for an audit whenever it may appear to be desu^able.
