The 21 -Gun Salute A number of our readers have asked us to inform them why the Royal Salute is 21 guns and the only information we have been able to gather in connection with the sane is as follows, 'The number of Guns, 1. e. 21 guns for the Royal Salute was prob- ably not adopted from any choice as to the number, but by force of cir- cumstances as a limit beyond all itt- tferiot' salutes in order to avoid fu- ture competitions. Foe some reasons unknown, salutes have always been of an odd number of guns. To check the abuse of salutes which wasted valuable powder, the number of -guns was gradually fixed by the British in different ranks increasing by twos, and when 17 was arrived at, the order was made not to ex tceed 21 except for royal persons, and when 10 was arrived at, the number 21 was made definite. "During the 10th, 17•th and a part of the 18th centuries, the maximum number of guns front a warship of England, Franco or Holland was 7 gens, dile to the fact that an idle expenditure of powder was forbid- den. Land forts were authorizes] to return a Soreign ship's salute, three gums to one, as it was easier to pre- serve powder ashore than afloat. This regalatiot in England extended as far back as 1784 when it was elated that royal salutes were not to exceed 21 guns; in 1.633 it was definitely embodied in the Queen's regulations of that year and estab- lished by commission that 21 guns would be the salute to the Royal Standard as well as to the heads of states and as a national salute."
