_Henry I.'s Tomb._--Lyttleton, in his _History of England_, quoting from
an author whose name I forget, states that no monument was ever erected
to the memory of this king in Reading Abbey. Man, on the contrary, in
his _History of Reading_, without quoting his authority, states that a
splendid monument was erected with recumbent figures of Henry and
Adelais, his second wife; which was destroyed by the mistaken zeal of
the populace during the Reformation.
Which of these statements is the true one? And if Man's be, on what
authority is it probably founded?
