136 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Queen Anne, and wrought by that silversmith/ who was also the maker 

 of the historic service in St. Peter's Church, Albany, New York, the 

 gift of Queen Anne to "Her Indian Chappel of the Onondawgus."^ 



An illustration of the silver of St. Paul's, Halifax, has appeared in 

 the year book of that parish. A later silver chalice and two patens 

 in this church were made in 1819-20 in London, while a silver spoon 

 appears to have been made in New York early in the 19th century, 

 though it is stamped with imitations of English marks. 



An English pewter baptismal bowl, of late 18th or early 19th 

 century date, in this Halifax church, is by the same maker as a pewter 

 mug in the Hospital at Quebec. 



The second Sacramental service in Nova Scotia has a pair of 

 similar cylindrically-shaped fîagons of large dimensions and of massive 

 silver, which were made in the year 1729-30 by the London silver- 

 smiths, Joseph Allen & Co., the makers of the royal services in the 

 three Episcopal churches of Christ Church, and Trinity Church, 

 Boston, Massachusetts, and St. Philip's, Charleston, South Carolina, 

 all of which were the gifts of George H.^ The cipher and royal arms 

 of George HI are engraved upon these flagons, with this inscription: 



CHRIST CHURCH 



WINDSOR 



NOVA SCOTIA 



From a close examination of the surface of these vessels there are 

 indications of the .erasure of an earlier inscription, shield of arms or 

 other device. Of the same date and by the same craftsmen is the 

 silver alms dish, which also bears the same royal arms, the cipher of 

 George HI, and the same inscription. This dish, it may be observed, 

 is identical with one in Trinity Church, St. John, New Brunswick. 

 The plain bell-shaped chalice of Christ Church, Windsor, was wrought 

 in 1763-64 by an unknown London maker and is engraved with the 

 same royal cipher and arms, as well as the inscription, as the other 

 vessels in this church. There are also two paten-covers of different 

 sizes, one of which was made in 1729-30 by Joseph Allen & Co., while 

 the other is undated, both being similarly engraved. 



Although four of these vessels bear the London date-letter for 

 1729-30 and one for 1763-64, the service was not in possession of this 

 Nova Scotia church until the year 1790, as is confirmed by the folio w-
