he New: In the North Cloyster the Figures of the
successive Kings from King _Peada_: In the West Cloyster
was the History from the first foundation of the
Monastery of King _Peada_, to the restoring of it by
King _Edgar_. Every window had at the bottom the
explanation of the History thus in Verse[207].

At Westminster, as recorded above, traces of the insertion of glass have
been observed.

In later times, when regular libraries had been built for the monasteries,
a special series of portraits occasionally appeared in glass, on a system
similar to that worked out in other materials in Roman and post-Roman
libraries; and sometimes, in other libraries, subjects are to be met with
instead of portraits, to indicate the nature of the works standing near
them. But I cannot say whether cloister-glass was ever treated in this
way.
