the last of which is that of Walch, 1786.

_Oaken Tombs and Effigies_ (Vol. vii., p. 528.).--These are rare. Three of
the latter exist at Little Horkesley, Essex. Two are figures of
cross-legged knights in chain armour and surcoats: one is a female figure
wimpled. They are supposed by Suckling to represent members of the
Horkesley family, who held that manor from 1210 to 1322.

Another instance is the effigy of a cross-legged knight in chain mail at
Danbury in the same county. An account of these will be found in vol. iii.
of Weale's _Architectural Papers_.

At Ashwell, Rutland, is an effigy in wood of a cross-legged knight, also in
chain mail, if I remember rightly. It is not quite evident, from the
description in Weale's book, whether there are three effigies at Danbury or
only one. Of the same material is the figure of Isabella of Angouleme at
Fontevrault. A catalogue of these wooden effigies would be interesting.

_Bowyer Bible_ (Vol. vii., _passim_).--Relative to the history and various
possessors of this curious Bible, I find the following notice in _The
Times_, Oct. 14, 1840:

"There is at present, in the possession of Mrs. Parker of Golden
Square, a copy of Macklin's Bible in forty-five large volumes,
illustrated with nearly 7000 engravings from the age of Michael Angelo
to that of Reynolds and West. The work also contains about 200 original
drawings or vignettes by Loutherbourg.

"The prints and etchings include the works of Raffaelle, Marc Antonio,
Albert Durer, Callot, Rembrandt, and other masters, consisting of
representations of nearly every fact, circumstance, and object
mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. There are, moreover, designs of
trees, plants, flowers, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and insects; such
as, besides fossils, have been adduced in proof of the universal
Deluge. The most authentic Scripture atlasses are bound up with the
volumes. The Bible was the property of the late Mr. Bowyer the
publisher, who collected and arranged the engravings, etchings, and
drawings at great expense and labour; and he is said to have been
engaged for upwards of thirty years in rendering it perfect. It was
insured at the Albion Insurance Office for 3000l."

In the British Museum are several large works, particularly British
topography, illustrated in a similar manner, and which thus contain
materials of the ra
