arms in different windows, and two miserably washy 
figures of King Ina in the court costume of the eighteenth 
century, and of Bishop Ralph de Salopia in the western 
lancets. In the clerestory range of the choir are two 
modern memorial windows; and in St. John’s chapel a 
window of painted glass has been placed at the expense of 
members of the Theological College. None of these last 
require especial comment. It is, however, much to be re- 
gretted that more care is not bestowed upon the ancient 
glass. The splendid Jesse window in the choir is far from 
being in a secure state, while the condition of the Per- 
pendicular glass in the library is most precarious. Unless 
the lead-work of this last glass be speedily looked to, it 
will inevitably drop out, and then another memorial of the 
taste and munificence of former ages will be irretrievably 
lost. This would be the more lamentable, as signs are not 
wanting that the importance of preserving national anti- 
quities is becoming daily more and more recognized, and 
that the rising generation is far more interested in the me- 
morjals of past ages than were their fathers.
