ith Wren's), and Millais, all
Presidents of the Royal Academy, with James Barry, Opie, Dance,
Fuseli, Turner, Landseer, and Boehm. Near here are Mylne and
Cockerell, successors of Wren: Milman lies directly under the altar,
and Liddon underneath his monument.

CHURCH OF ST. FAITH IN THE CRYPT.]

The monuments include two removed from the choir to make room for the
organ. John Cooke, killed in command of the _Bellerophon_
(Westmacott), and George Duff, killed in command of the _Mars_
(Bacon), both at Trafalgar. Tablets, busts, or brasses, are in honour
of Lord Mayo, the Canadian statesman Macdonald, the Australian
statesman Dally, the Press correspondents who fell in the Soudan, the
soldiers who fell in the Transvaal, Goss, the organist and composer,
and Bishop Piers Claughton, a residentiary. At the east end, where
service is held on a weekday morning at eight, are a few fragments of
the old monuments--Nicholas Bacon (in armour and legs missing),
Christopher Hatton, John Wolley, and others. Some slight carvings of
the old buildings are also left.

THE GALLERIES AND LIBRARY.

THE LIBRARY.]

Above the aisles are long and spacious galleries, and after mounting
the staircase to the south-west of the dome, we pass through one of
these--that over the south aisle--to the Library over the South-West
Chapel. A gallery is supported by brackets carved by Jonathan Maine,
and the flooring is of 2,300 pieces of oak, inlaid and without pegs or
nails. There is a portrait of Bishop Compton, who may be considered the
founder; and later donations and bequests include those of Bishop
Sumner of Winchester, Archdeacon Hale, and notably Dr. Sparrow-Simpson.
Altogether many thousands of MSS. and books. A beautiful "Avicenna
Canon Medicinae," a psalter supposed to have been used in the old Latin
services, and another bought by Dr. Simpson at a second-hand
book-stall, are of the fourteenth century. A subscription book for the
rebuilding contains the following: "_I will give one thousand pounds a
yeare whitehall 20 March 1677/8 Charles R._" These subscriptions never
found their way into the fund; and forgetful how readily the Merry
Monarch's money might have been intercepted _en route_, it has been
assumed that he never parted with it. In the same book James also
promises "_two hundred pounds a yeare to begin from Midsommer day last
past._" The
