 Masons' Marks,* most of them giving illustrations, have been 

 consulted, and to these have been added a few marks that we 

 have collected, or have been given us by Mr. St. John Hope, 

 from the Peak Castle, Scarborough Castle, Dale Abbey, Hart- 

 ington Church, and Lichfield Cathedral,t Rochester Cathedral, 

 etc., with the result that the following table has been compiled
