13. FROM A MS. AT ROUEN, AND FROM A BENEDICTIONALE IN THE POSSESSION OF THE REV. W. MASKELL. Date, about 1480. 14. FROM THE GOLDEN BIBLE. Printed at Augsburg. Date, the end of the 15th Century. 15. FROM WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Date, the 15th and 16th Centuries. The Alphabet here represented is chiefly taken from the Monument of Henry VII. In early inscriptions it was usual to separate the words from each other by a stop, device, or grotesque, and in the lower parts of the plate we have shown a serie...s of leaves and flowers employed for that purpose taken from various brasses. In Plate 4 from the monument of Henry III. And in Plate 10 from that of Richard II. Portions of the inscriptions round the effigies are given to show the mode of intro ducing these stops or devices, the longer ones being employed at the termination of sentences, or when the inscription does not reach the end of the panel within which it is placed. 16. THREE ALPHABETS FROM MONUMENTAL BRASSES. Date, the end of the 15th Century.
