THE SECOND WINTER MEETING. XXXI. 



EXHIBITS. 



By the PRESIDENT : 



A copy of the 1st Edition of the Nuremburg Liber 

 Cronicarum, printed in 1493 by Antony Koberger, and 

 containing a history of the world, illustrated by over 2,000 

 woodcuts by Michael Wolgemut (Albert Diirer's master) and 

 Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. 



The Creation, the Expulsion from Eden, and many other Bible events are 

 illustrated. Sacred and prof me history run side by side, Ulysses and Circe 

 finding a place 011 the same page as King Saul. Long series of Popes, Kings, 

 and Emperors, and famous personages are shown (as stated in the colophon) 

 by accurate portraits. A great feature of the work is a number of maps and 

 views of cities and countries. There are also woodcuts showing types of dog- 

 headed, headless, and other strange peoples in various foreign countries. 

 The second part is of the nature of a Gazetteer, with descriptions and views 

 of different lands and localities. 



OLD STONE CROSSES. Mr. ALFRED POPE, F.S.A., author 

 of " The Old Stone Crosses of Dorset," exhibited his fine 

 collection of prints, photos, &c., illustrating the subject. 

 They were, he said, principally of mediaeval memorial and 

 market crosses, and represented by excellent line engravings, 

 mostly of late in the 18th or early in the 19th centuries. 



DORSET PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY. Mr. C. J. CORNISH 

 BROWNE, of Came House, the director of the Photographic 

 Survey of Dorset, exhibited about 160 platinotype photo- 

 graphs, temporarily mounted. In doing so he wished to say 

 how much the work of the Survey could be helped by the 

 members of the club who had photographs putting themselves 

 in communication with him and offering to help with their 

 cameras. Captain ACLAND suggested the adoption of some 

 broad system of classification in the collection. The 

 PRESIDENT proposed that a small committee should be 

 appointed to co-operate with Mr. Cornish Browne, to consist 

 of the Executive, the Rev. W. Miles Barnes, who instituted 

 the Survey, and Captain Acland on behalf of the Museum. 

 This was agreed to.
