Portraits of Charles I. in Churches (Vol i., 

 pp. 137. 184). — In reference to this I have to 

 state, that in the south aisle of the church of St. 

 Martin, in Leicester, a painting of this kind is yet 

 to be seen, or -was lately. It was executed by a 

 Mr. Rowley, for 10/., in the year 1686. It repre- 

 sents the monarch in a kneeling attitude. Jattee. 



Joachim, the French Amhassador (Vol. ii., 

 p. 229.). — In llapin's History of England I find

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



The Rev.. Mackenzie Walcott, M. A., of Exeter Col- 

 lege, Oxford, wiiose pleasant gossiping M>moria!s of 

 Westminster, and History of St. Marc/aret's Cliurcit, are 

 no doubt familiar to many of our readers, is, as an old 

 Wykehamist, collecting information for a " History of 

 Commoners and the Two S. INIario Winton Colleges ;" 

 and will feel obliged by lists of illustrious alumni, and 

 any notes, arcliseological and hi-iforical, about that noble 

 school, which will be duly acknowledged. 



The Cambrian Archaolor/lcul Association, which was 

 established in 18-t6 for the purpose of promoting the 

 study and preservation of the antiquities of Wales and 

 the Marches, held its fourth anniversary meeting in the 

 ancient and picturesque t'lwn of Dolgelly, during the 

 week conmicncing the 2Gth ultimo. The Association 

 is endeavouring to extend Ils usefulness by enlarging 

 the number of its members ; and as its subscribing 

 members receive in return for their yearly poiuid, not 

 oiily the Society's Journal, the Archceologia Oimbreyisis, 

 but also the annual volume of valuable archaeological 

 matter published by the Association, we cannot doubt 

 but their exertions will meet the sympathy and patro- 

 nage of all who take an interest in the national and 

 historical remains of the principality. 



The preceding jjaragraph was scarcely finished when 

 we received proof of the utility of the Association in 

 Mr. Freeman's volume, entitled Remar/is on the Archi- 

 tecture of IJdniliiff Ciitlicitral, wilft fin I'Jssai/ towards a 

 History of the Fabric — a volume which, as we learn 

 from the preface, had its origin in the observations on 

 some of the more singidar peculi:u-ities of the fabric 

 made by the author at the CardilT meeting of the 

 Association in 1849. 'i'hese remarks were further 

 developed in a pa])er in the Archceolnr/in Cambrensis ; 

 and have now l)een expanded into the i)resent descrip- 

 tive and historical account of a building which, to use 

 Mr. Freeman's words, " in many respects, both of its 

 history and architecture, stands quite alouu among 



English churches." Mr. Freeman's ability to do justice 

 to such a subject is well known : and his work will 

 therefore assuredly find a welcome from the numerous 

 body of students of church architecture now to be 

 found in this country ; and to their judgments we 

 leave it.
