ON THE PROPOSED SUGGESTIONS FOR PRESERVING A 

 RECORD OF EXISTING MONUMENTS. 



The following communications have reached us since 

 the publication of our remarks on the proposed Monu- 

 MENTARiuM Anglicanum ( No. 7.3. p. 217. et seq.). 

 They serve to show how much interest the subject has 

 excited among those best qualified to judge of the 

 great utility of some well-organised plan for the pre- 

 servation of a record of our still existing monuments. 



Mr. Dunkin's letter (which was accompanied by a 

 copy of the Prospectus issued by him in 1844) claims 

 precedence, as showing the steps which thai gentleman 

 has airi-ady taken. It is a communication highly 

 creditable to his exertions in the cause, but does not 

 alter our views as to the practicability of any success- 

 ful attempt to accomplish this object by individua 

 exertion. 



In No. 73. Vol. iii. of "Notes and Queries" 

 you have honoured me by an allusion to the 

 Moiiumenta Anglicuna I have in the press, as " a 

 plan which would have your hearty concurrence 

 and recoinmendation, if rt were at all practicable; 

 but which must iad from its very vastness." It 

 may be so; but the motto of my family is Essayez. 

 Every "gigantic scheme" must have a commence- 

 ment, and this " scheme," I am perfectly aware, 

 is one " that no individual, however varied in 

 attainments and abilities, could without assistance 

 hope to achieve." My father, upwards of half a 

 century since, commenced collecting mortuary 

 memori'ils; many of the monuments from which 

 lie copied the inscriptions have since been de- 

 stroyed by time, and many, very many, more by 

 the ruthless innovations of beautifying church- 

 wardens. These "very vast" collections — the 

 labour of a life — liovvever, only form a portion of 

 the materials I now possess; for since I issued my 

 prospectus in 1844, 1 have received many thousands 

 of inscri|)tions and rubbings of brasses from clergy- 

 men and others ; and I trust I shall be favoured 

 with still further assistance, as in all cases where 

 information is rendered, the source whence de- 

 rived shall be most thankfully and freely acknow- 

 ledged.
