Hitherto the cheapest edition of this well-known work has been issued at Three Shillings, a price which, it has been stated, is prohibitive to many who would otherwise wish to possess a copy.

In response, therefore, to the frequently expressed suggestion of many of the Clergy, both at home and abroad, and with a view to render the work more extensively useful among a wider circle of readers, more particularly the poorer members of the Church, it has been decided to issue a cheap popular edition at so reasonable a price as will bring it within the means of every one to obtain it.

the bodies are at rest somewhere within
the four walls of the church. The pity of
it is great, but SO many changes have
taken place, not always made by reverent
hands, that this state of things would appear
to be unpreventable; at any rate the monu-
ments are little likely to be moved again,
which must be our chief consolation. There
are twenty-two upon the north wall and
fifteen upon the east wall of the north aisle

MURAL MONUMENTS AT ST. MARGARET'S,
WESTMINSTER, HIDDEN BY THE NEW
ORGAN.

RECENTLY (9th S. v. 284) I drew attention
to some old inscriptions on the floor-
stones under the new organ, and I now
redeem the promise then and there made to
deal with the wall tablets. They are thirty-
seven in number, but it cannot be said that
the workmanship counts for much with most
of them, as they are, in many cases, the
memorials of local worthies, and the art of
the statuary mason and sculptor was not in-
voked to advertise their fame; still there
are a few where this was done, and the effect
was fairly good. Of these, of course, no
reproduction could be made in these columns.
Another thing must be said. When the re-
storation of the church took place in 1878, all
the monuments were taken down from the
walls, and when replaced, by very far the
largest number of them
were assigned
positions a long way removed from those
they originally occupied, there being only
about twenty-five to be found near where
they were at first placed. It will be there-
fore seen that the inscriptions must not be
taken literally, but only as indicating that

"Under this pew lies the body of Mrs Elizabeth Alford Wife of Mr John Alford. She died the 8th of November 1728 aged 69 | Here also lies the Body of Mr John Alford who was almost fifty years a Parishioner of the Parish | one who was Just in all his Dealings & whose word was yo same as his bond and who never Broke a Promise he made for no interest whatever | He was a sincere Friend a good Husband and the most indulgent Father | to an Only Daughter that ever was Born and Endeared himselfe to her by making her a Companion and Friend even in her Infancy without ever putting on y Severity of some Parents & which she always acknowledg'd He died the first of August 1739.
