cannot be relied on. The illustrations, too, are often cramped
by considemtions of space, and shields and other det,n.ils
appear where they should not. Another work of the same
description is Ancien,t Memorial Brasses, by Mr. E. T. Beaumoot
(Humplirey Milford, 1913, Bvo.). Like Mr. Suffiing,
the author lacks equipment, and makes many mistakes which
shoulu have been avoided. For instance, Mr. Beaumont,
:finding '' De bello campo" in an inscription, transla.tes it
"From the b,t!itle-field." The ho)k cannot be commended,
thoug-h the illustrations are fair. Not many Kentish
examples are given.
Amongst the shilling manuals issued by the Cambridge
University Press is one published in 1912 on Brasses by
M:1'. J. S. M. Ward. It is satisfactory so far as it goes,
being larg·ely founded on Mr. :Mackliu's book mentioned
above. Of the twenty-five illustrations five are from Kent.
Our member Mr. Georg·e Clinch is the author of many
popular handbooks on antiquarian subjects ,vhich he
frequently illustrates from Kentish brass es.
