10. Where stones are richly carved, or in any way exceptional, 

 they should be described. 



11. Quaint or interesting poetry or other matter may very well 

 be quoted, and early inscriptions (say, previous to 1700) should 

 certainly be given in full. 



12. Inscriptions in Churches should always be copied in full, 

 with descriptions of the tombs and of any Arms. 



Careful notes should be made of any Coatsof-Arms or Heraldic 

 Achievements that may appear not only upon monumental stones 

 but also in stained-glass windows, or elsewhere, as on Hatchments, 

 Banners, &c.
