Virgin and Child. [Illustration: XV.--Part of Window. Tonbridge School Chapel, photographed from the Cartoon.] PLATE XVI.--_Figure of one of the Choir of "Dominations." From Gloucester, by the author and his pupils._ [Illustration: XVI.--Part of Window. Gloucester Cathedral.] The names of the pupils whose work appears in Plate VIII. are J. H. Saunders and R. J. Stubington. In Plate XIV. A. E. Child, K. Parsons, and J. H. Stanley; and in the Plates XI. to XVI. J. Brett, L. Brett, A. E. Child, P. R. Edwards, M. Hutchinson, K. Parsons, J. H. Stanley, J. E. Tarbox, and E. A. Woore. The cuts in the text are by K. Parsons and E. A. Woore. GLOSSARY _Antiques_, coloured glasses made in imitation of the qualities of ancient glass. _Banding_, putting on the copper "ties" by which the glazed light is attached to the supporting bars. _Base_, (1) the light-tinted glass, white, greenish or yellow, on which the thin film of ruby or blue is imposed in "flashed" glasses; (2) the support of the niche on which the figure stands in "canopy work." _Borrowed light_, a light not coming direct from daylight, but from the interior light of a building as in the case of a _screen_ of glass. (The result is similar when a window is seen against near background of trees or buildings.) _Calm_ (of lead), the strip of lead, 3 to 4 feet long, as used for leading up the glass. _Canopy_ or "tabernacle work," the architectural framing in imitation of a carved niche in which the figure is placed. The vertical supports (sometimes used alone to frame in the whole light) are called "shafting." _Cartoon_, the design of the window, full size, on paper. _Chasuble_, the outermost sacrificial vestment of a bishop or priest. _Cope_, the outermost ceremonial and processional vestment of a bishop or priest. _Core_ (of lead), the crossbar of the "H" section as shown in fig. 34. _Crocketting_, the ornamenting of any architectural member at intervals with sculptured bosses or crockets. _Cullet_, the waste cuttings of glass. Generally used over again in greater or less quantity as an ingredient in the making of new glass. _Cut-line_, the tracing (containing the lead lines only) by which the work is cut and glazed. _Flux_, the solvent which assists the melting of the metallic pigments in the kiln. Various materials are used, _e.g._ silica and lead, but unfortunately borax also is used, and I would warn the student to buy
