SUGGESTIONS FOIl PRESERYING A llECORB OF EXISTING 

 MONUMENTS. 



When, in the opening Number of the present Volume 

 (p. 14 ), we called the attention of our readers to the 

 Monumenluriuin of Ex-eter Cut/ieftral, we expressed a 

 hope that the };ood services which Mr. Ilcwett had 

 thereby rendered to all genealogical, antiquarian, and 

 historical inquirers would be so obvious as to lead a 

 number of labourers into the same useful fVehl. J'hat 

 hope bids lair to be fully reali&ed. In Vol. iii., p. 1 16'., 



we printed a letter from Mr. Peacock, announcing 

 his intention of copying the inscriptions in tlie cburclies 

 and churchyards of the Hundred of Manley ; and we 

 this week present our readers with three fresh com- 

 munications upon the subject. 



We give precedence to IMiss Bockett's, inasmuch 

 as it involves no general proposal upon the sulject, 

 but is merelv expressive of that lady's willingne.ss, in 

 which we have no doubt she will be followed by many 

 of her countrywomen, to help forward the good work. 



In your Number for Feb. I5th, I find Mb. 

 Edward Peacock, Jun., of Bottesfonl Moor.s, 

 Messiiigham, Kirton Lindse}', wisJies to collect 

 church memorials for a work he intends to 

 publish. If he would like the accounts of monu- 

 ments in the iinmeiliate neighliourhood of Reading, 

 as far as I am able it would give me plea-sure to 

 send some to him, Julia R. Bockett. 



Southcole Lodge, near Reading. 



The second makes us ac(iuainted with a plan for the 

 publication of a Mnuumrnla Anylicanahy Mr. Dunkin, 

 — a pi. in which would have our hearty concurrence and 

 recommendation, if it were at all pr-icticalile ; but 

 wliich, it will be seen at a glance, must fail from its 

 very vastness. If the Monuininturium of Exeter con- 

 tains the material for half a moderate-sized octavo 

 volume, in what nvmiber of volumes does Mr. Dunkin 

 propose to complete his collection — even if a want of 

 purchasers of the early volumes did not nip in the bud 

 his praiseworthy and well-intentioned scheme? 



Your correspondent Mr. Edw. Peacock, Jun , 

 may be interest eil in kuowiug that a work has 

 some liine been ]n'ojecteil by my IVieiid Mr. Alfred 

 John Dunkin of Dartfbrd (whose indiistiy and 

 anti(juarian leaniino render him well fitted ior 

 the task), under the title at' Moiminejila Aiiglicmia, 

 and which is intended to be a medium I'or preserv- 

 ing the inscriptions in every cluinh in the king- 

 dom. There can be no doubt of the high value 

 and utilitv of .such a work, especially if accompa- 

 nied by a wcll-arrangcMl inde.\ of names; and I have 

 no doiilit Mr. PicAcocK, ami indeed many others 

 of your valued curresiioiidents, will be induced to 



Vol-. III.-No. 73.
