can equal these Zealots. II.de Partie.
Quand le Predicateur a fini son Discours,

longue Jupe, se mettent a tourner sur euxmêmes
de la maniere representée; au Son
d’une Musique lugubre; puis s’arretent &
recommencent à tourner, Personne ne
sauroit égaler ces Zélotes dans cet Exercise.

Ceremony of installation of knights of the Order of the
Bath inside Westminster Abbey. A young Prince
William, Duke of Cumberland (1721 – 1765), a
younger son of George II, kneels before the altar. The
knights stand in plumed hats in rows at either side
under their banners, a huge crowd of spectators beyond
the altar.
The Most Honourable Order of the Bath is an order of
chivalry founded by George I on 18 May 1725. The
name derives from the medieval ceremony for creating
a knight, which involved bathing (as a symbol of
purification) as one of its elements. Recipients of the
Order are now usually senior military officers or senior
civil servants.
The Order of the Bath is the fourth-most senior of the
British Orders of Chivalry, after The Most Noble Order
of the Garter, The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order
of the Thistle, and The Most Illustrious Order of St
Patrick.

View of Billingsgate market from the river. In 1849,
the famous London fish market was moved off the
streets into its own riverside building, which was
demolished c. 1873 and replaced by this arcaded
market hall. It was designed by City architect Sir
Horace Jones and built by John Mowlem & Co. in
1875. This building, known as Old Billingsgate
Market, is now used as a corporate events venue.
