POSTSCRIPT. 



Since the paper on the Alabaster Tablet was printed, information has reached 

 us of two more examples of these remarkable sculptures of St. Gregory's Pity : 

 both of them are of the usual size, but in white alabaster, and uncoloured. 

 One of them is in an ancient collection of the chaplains of the Throckmorton 

 family, at Weston Underwood, Bucks. The other is at the Roman Catholic 

 Convent, at Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight, and used to belong to Mr. Maskell, 

 the author of Liturgia Anglicana. We have not had time to ascertain the 

 details of these sculptures, but are assured by Rev. Joseph Hirst that the figures 

 fully bear out the interpretation of their reference to the St. Gregory legend.
