Jerusalem chamber tales at Westminster Abbey as 1611 and 1884 Bible revisions linked
An old Jericho parlor leads to the celebrated Jerusalem chamber at Westminster Abbey. The room, built 1386 by Abbot Litlington, housed the 1611 and 1884 Bible revisions, and served as a withdrawing room for abbey guests. It later hosted the funeral of Henry IV and the bodies of Addison and Newton were carried from it. A companion piece describes English artist R Talbot Kelly's desert visit with Bedouins, their hospitality, and nomadic life.

These acids create salts of nitric acid, making water unhealthful and enabling germs to drift into and thrive on oysters. Source cites New York World.
