INSCRIPTIONS AT SAN SEBASTIAN.
IN the cemetery on the seaward slope of
the fortress of Monte Urgull at San Sebastian
one sees now only these ten epitaphs re-
lating to the British military intervention
in the wars of King Ferdinand VII. and
his daughter Queen Isabel II. Until as re-
cently as 1898 (I believe) there were certainly
others e.g., that bearing the single words
<c Poor Court ! " Whither, by whom, and
why were the others removed ? I have taken
these copies in the order in which one finds
them when passing the enclosure from west
to east.
