in the Western Morning News, contains the following :—‘‘ Mr. Charles Fox 
and others who are interested in the preservation of all monuments of an- 
tiquity in Cornwall may like to know, in answer to his question in your columns 
on the 13th inst., that the curious tablet in Landulph Church in memory of 
Theodore Paleologus was not forgotten in the report sent to the Society of

reported to the society, are, however, preserved in their library for future 
use, if needed.”*

requested the Society of Antiquaries to furnish ‘a list of such Regal and other Historical 
Tombs or Monuments existing in Cathedrals, Churches, and other Public Places and Build- 
ings, as in their opinion it would be desirable to place under the protection and supervision 
of the Goyernment, with a view to their proper custody and preservation.” In accordance 
with this request a committee was appointed by the Society to make a report. The committee 
obtained the assistance of the local societies and Fellows of the Society (including Mr. J. J. 
Rogers for Cornwall), and drew up a report last February which has just been published as 
a Parliamentary Blue-book. There are in all 610 monuments which the Society of Antiquaries 
recommend should be placed under the protection of the Government; 5 of these are in 
Cornwall, namely, Anthony Church, Person commemorated—Richard Carew, author of
