is Majesty, and among the rest,
that famous Diana of Ephesus. But the great Horse with his Majesty upon
it, twice as great as the life, and now well nigh finished, will
compare with that of the New Bridge at Paris, or those others at
Florence and Madrid, though made by Sueur, his master John de Bologna,
that rare workman, who not long since lived at Florence."

The bronze statue of the Gladiator originally stood (according to Ned
Ward's _London Spy_) in the Parade facing the Horse Guards. Dodsley
(_Environs_, iii. 741.) says it was removed by Queen Anne to Hampton Court,
and from thence, by George the Fourth, to the private grounds of Windsor
Castle, where it now is. Query, What has become of the other five "famous
statues in brass?"

BISHOP JEWELL'S LIBRARY.

What became of Bishop Jewell's library? Cassan mentions (_Lives of Bishops
of Salisbury_, vol. ii. p. 55.) that

"He had collected an excellent library of books of all sorts, not
excepting the most impertinent of the Popish authors, and here it was
that he spent the greatest and the best part of his time," &c.

Bishop Jewell died Sept. 22. 1571.

In the Account Books of Magdalen College, Oxford, I find the following
items:--

"A. D. 1572. Solut. D^{no} Praesidi equitanti Sarisbur. pro libris per
billam, iij^{li} xvi^s.

"Solut. pro libris D^{ni}, episcopi Sar., c^{li}.

"A. D. 1574. Solut per Dom. Praesidem pro libris M^{ri} Jewell,
xx^{li}."

Whether these books were a portion only, or the whole of the library of
Bishop Jewell, I am unable to discover; nor am I aware at present whether
Bishop Jewell's autograph is in any of the books of Magdalen College
Library. The president was Lawrence Humphrey, author of a Life of Jewell.

THE LOW WINDOW.

The low windows in the chancel of so many of our ancient churches have
proved a fruitful source of discussion among archaeologists, and numerous
theories have been advanced respecting their use. Perhaps the words of the
chameleon in the fable might be addressed to many who have attempted to
account for their existence, "You all are right and all are wrong"--right
in your supposition that they were thus used; but wrong in maintaining that
this was the exclusive purpose. Some example, in fact, may be adduced
irreconcileable wit
