cushion. The letters i b are engraved near his head. Upon 
his right side is depicted a lady kneeling upon a cushion and 
holding a hook. She wears a cap with acutely pointed sides, 
a bodice, skirt, and apron. The name Ellinor is inscribed 
near her. On the opposite side kneels a similar figure, with 
the name Isabella. At the bottom of the brass on the left 
is a skull and cross-bones, and on the right an hour-glass and 
cross-bones. The drawing is poor, and the spirit and style of 
the whole composition is debased. The following inscription 
is beneath the figures :—
