LEWIS EVANS—ADDRESS 
which was made about 1730. I have a silver dial of this type, 
which is interesting from the inscription on it: “Made by 
C. Harrison in his 85th year, his gift of love to his Grandaughter 
liosetta Hughes, 1810.” 
I have amongst other English dials with compasses a folding 
wooden dial, made about 1650; a nicely-made brass dial by 
Edmund Culpeper, about 1690; a very fine instrument by Tho. 
Wright, maker to His Majesty, 1730-1750, having on it an Earl’s 
coat of arms with the motto “ Me mini” ; and lastly, a very pretty 
gilt brass block with nine dials on it, which was made by Nicolas 
Kratzer at Oxford for Cardinal Wolsey. It bears on one side the 
arms of Wolsey, and on the other those of the cathedral church of 
York ; it also has on it a Cardinal’s hat twice repeated. This dial 
must have been made some time between 1518 and 1530. It is 
fully described in vol. lvii of ‘ Archeeologia.’ 
It would, of course, be quite impossible for me this evening 
to give a description of the many varieties of dials exhibited, but 
I would call your attention to the large number of German dials 
amongst them, and to the fact that the saying “Nuremberg’s 
hand goes through every land” was especially true as regards 
dials, Augsburg’s “ hand” also being well represented.
