Funeral of Campbell, the Poet, in Westminster Abbey, 3 July 1844. Burial of Scottish poet Thomas Campbell: '...a host of men of all ranks and parties of literary men, of artists, and of friends...flocked to his funeral...The mourners...assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, which is an ancient room...situated on the north side of the Abbey...The corpse, which had been landed last week from Boulogne, and which was brought to London, was removed to a small apartment in the Abbey, called, we believe, the "Room of the Spirit", ...and all the preparations for the solemn occasion duly made. The pall-bearers and chief mourners put on their sable weeds...at ten minutes to twelve o'clock, the procession, which passed at once from the Jerusalem Chamber, by a private way, into the Abbey'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
