K. is this motto : " Prepared be to follow me." There is another of these rings (all of which may bo considered as "stamped with an eternal grief") in the pos- session of a clergyman. The shank of the ring is of fine gold, enamelled black, but the greater part of the enamel has been worn away by use. On the inner side of the s...hank an inscription has been engraTed, the first letter of which still remains, but the rest of this also has been worn away by much use. In the shank is set a small miniature in enamel of the King, inclosed in a box of crystal which opens with a spring. At the back of the box, containing the miniature, is a piece of white enamel, having a death's head surmounted by a crown with the date January 30 represented upon it in black. A me- morial ring of Charles the First, Avhich has a portrait of the King in enamel and an inscription at the back, recording the day of his execution, was exhibited before the members of the London Antiquarian Society in March, 185i.* Eings, with portraits of Charles the First on ivoiy, are not uncommon.
