ItAvas decided to appeal for funds throughout the Empire. The King wrote to the Lord Mayor promising a thousand guineas. He approved of the proposed site, and hoped that a lasting and worthy memorial of the great Queen would be erected."’ The Rothschilds have subscribed two thousand guineas and Sir Thomas Lipton and Sir John Blundell Maple one thousand guineas each.
