    • ---"The Universal Magazine" Volume V, January to June, Inclusive 1806:
      The family vault in which the remains of Mr. Pitt have been interred, is situated near the North Door of Westminster Abbey, nearly opposite the end of King-street. It already contained the bodies of the Great Earl of Chatham, of the late Countess Dowager of Chatham, and of Lady Harriet Elliot. This receptacle is about ten feet by six, and about ten feet deep.
