and shears of a diminutive size, not unlike those sometimes 

 discovered in Anglo-Saxon graves : spoons bearing the makers' 

 stamps, the hilts and blades of swords and daggers, the trap- 

 pings of horses, a fragment of chain mail, the wheel-locks of 

 carbines and muskets, probably memorials of the struggle 

 between the Parliament troops and the royalists, when Ludlow 

 was driven out of Salisbury by the army of Sir Marmaduke 

 Langdale; and, lastly, several rings and badges of copper 

 enamelled with armorial devices, some of these probably as 

 early as the 14th century. [Great praise is due to Mr. Brodie 

 for the pains he has taken in arranging and preserving these 

 local reliques. He has lately most liberally offered to present 

 them to the city as a nucleus for a local museum, in case an 

 institution of that kind should be formed].
