PAINTED GLASS IN WELLS CATHEDRAL. 127 
glass, and yellow crowns between pieces of blue glass. 
Within the border, surrounded by the foliage and tendrils 
of a vine, which sometimes cross their bodies, the principal 
figures stand under canopies. These figures, which are ar- 
ranged in two tiers (exclusive of Jesse, who lies below), 
represent various Scripture personages in our Lord’s gene- 
alogy, including Abraham, David, Solomon, Daniel, Hosea, 
and the Virgin und Child. It is worthy of remark that 
while the faces of the subordinate characters are, with the 
exception of a female (perhaps Ruth), formed of pink 
glass, those of the Blessed Virgin and her Child, as if by 
the force of contrast, to give them a greater prominence, 
are of a white colour. This truly splendid window, which 
is much out of repair, has been copied for the new church 
of All Saints, London, from tracings made by the late la- 
mented Mr. Gerente. The lishts of the four easternmost 
elerestory windows of the choir are ornamented with large 
figures of Saints standing under canopies. In one window 
the central figure is St. George ; in another the middle 
figure is King Ethelbert. In the tracery of the two win- 
dows next the east, is pourtrayed the resurrection of the 
dead : above are angels blowing trumpets, while below the 
dead are rising from the opening tombs. The top of one 
of these tombs is marked with a cross flory. The waving 
patterns, principally of blue and white and red and white 
glass, in the tracery of the two remaining windows of this 
series, are remarkable for extreme elegance and beauty 
both in point of design and of harmonious colouring. The 
east window of the ladye-chapel has been restored by Mr. 
Williment. This window contains two rows of figures 
under canopies. In the upper tier are Noah, Abraham, 
David, Isaiah, and Malachi. In the lower tier are Eve, 
the Deceiving Serpent, the Virgin and Child, the Brazen
