(Concluding Notice.) 



ESIDES the St. Ursula window, of which a notice ap- 

 peared in this journal last year, there are two others, 

 of which we now give coloured drawings. Plate III. is 

 from the window in the east end of the south aisle ; it has been 

 a three-light window, but one bay is blocked out by a monu- 

 ment. The two lights remaining are fitted with early 15th 

 century glass. It will be observed that the architectural orna- 

 ments, which form a frame to the figures of St. Elizabeth and St. 

 Peter, are massive, and that there is enough shading to give it 

 relief. The glass, on which this part is painted, is clear white ; but 

 the blue and ruby are coloured glass, the shading being painted 

 upon them. 



Now, in the case of the St. Ursula window (Plate IX., Vol. viii.), 

 and in the other plate attached to this article, the way in which 

 the framework was painted is quite different ; there is no shading 

 at all, the crocketed tabernacle framework is only a yellow outline 

 stain on white glass, which has a pleasant silvery shimmer very 

 agreeable to the eye, and admitting a great deal of light. This 

 stain is not found earlier than the latter part of the 15th century. 

 It was discovered by Jacques Lallemand, of Ulm. His discovery 

 is called miraculous. He died on the 10th October, 1491, aged 

 80 years.*
