INSCRIPTIONS AT SAN SEBASTIAN. IN the cemetery on the seaward slope of the fortress of Monte Urgull at San Sebastian one sees now only these ten epitaphs re- lating to the British military intervention in the wars of King Ferdinand VII. and his daughter Queen Isabel II. Until as re- cently as 1898 (I believe) there were certainly others e.g., that bearing the single words <c Poor Court ! " Whither, by whom, and why were the others removed ? I have taken these copies in the order in which one finds them when passing the enclosure from west to east.
