Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chelsea Hospital, and Its Traditions, Vol. 1 of 3 Last of all, and most of all, my obligations to John Fasson, Esq. Of the secretary's office, are numerous and weighty. To him, whose tho rough knowledge of the history and affairs of the establishment are well known and justly appreciated, I am indebted for nothing less than a revision of cv ery sheet that bears at all upon these subjects - a fact which enables me to state with confidence that, whatever their merits may be in other respects, my notices deserve, at all events, to be relied upon as authentic.
