_Raleigh's Ring_ (Vol. v., p. 538.).--Sir Walter Raleigh's ring, which he
wore at the time of his execution, is, I believe, in the possession of
Capt. Edward James Blanckley, of the 6th Foot, now serving at the Cape of
Good Hope. It is an heirloom in the Blanckley family, of which Captain
Blanckley is the senior representative, who are directly descended from Sir
Walter, and have in their possession several interesting relics of their
great ancestor, viz. a curious tea-pot, and a state paper box of iron gilt
and red velvet.
