Until it has become a grand museum of all rare and costly things. … Hardly any house except Windsor Castle so full of treasures has escaped the desolator so long. Now, therefore, that the financial muddling of the head of the house - for … it is financial muddling rather than the usual mad wastefulness which has partly crippled the Duke - has brought the long collected treasures of Hamilton Palace to that Clearing-house of the millionaires, Christie and Manson’s, the great buyers are all agog.
