384 Mr. Denison, on the Great Bell of Westminster, [March 6, 



suppose is much the largest casting in the world. And the other 

 Russian bell, being 18 feet wide, must be 110 tons, according to 

 the Westminster scale, instead of 64, which is the recorded weight. 

 I might have added several other Russian bells to the list, from 

 Lyall's book, all of great weights, but it seemed hardly worth while, 

 as everybody knows already that the Russians have surpassed all 

 the world in the magnitude of their scale of bellfounding, and two 

 or three instances prove as much as twenty. I have stopped the 

 list at four tons. After these would come the single bells of Can- 

 terbury, Gloucester, and Beverley Minster, and the tenor bells of 

 the peals of Exeter and York, St. Mary-le-Bow, St. Saviour's, and 

 Sherbourne, which run from 3i to 2^ tons. 



List of Bells.
