My next visit was to the Treasury, or as they are here called “the Green Vaults,” containing immense riches, and so arranged that the succeeding room should be richer than the preceding. The diamonds in one or two of the rooms surpassed in size any thing I ever saw. There were several setts of Buttons, collars bracelets, &c. Enormous. A collar of brilliant
stile worn on State occasions by the Queen I may safely say was composed of
stones each large as a small hickory nut.
