The entire collection of plate m the London Mansion House is a wonderful sight. An idea of the wealth of it may be gathered from the fact that, at the time _of the openin of the Mansion House in 1753, the plate, which was deposited in the strong-room, cost £11,531 16s 3d. Every year since then each Lord Mayor has added to the collection to the amount of £500, and in addition there are many handsome presentation pieces.
