Presented by Mr. Rassam on leaving Oxford in January, 1849, after a stay of some months, as a mark of thanks for the manner in which he had been received. It occupied only forty-eight hours in execution, as he himself told the present writer[387]. AT THE WEST END. 20. Sir Thomas Bodley's bell. See p. 33. 21. Maps of Oxford and Cambridge, by Ralph Aggas; the former dated 1578, the latter 1592; about three feet by four in size. These extremely curious and valuable maps were bequeathed by Dr. Rawlinson. Having become decayed and dilapidated by exposure, they were some few years ago carefully mounted on canvas, on a wooden frame, and covered with glass; by which means they are effectually secured from further injury of the same kind. 22. Four drawings of heads by Raffaele, or Giulio Romano. See p. 251. IN THE LIBRARIAN'S STUDY. 23. A Roman inscription on a brazen plate:-- FLORAE TI. PLAVTIVS DROSVS MAG. II. V. S. L. M. Given by Dr. Rawlinson. An engraving is extant, among the many which were executed for Rawlinson of various relics in his miscellaneous collection. It is described on the engraving as being 'Ex regiis Christinæ thesauris.' 24. A small plaster cast of the head of Torquato Tasso, from a wax model made by Mr. N. Marchant from a cast taken after Tasso's death, and preserved in the Convent of St. Onofrio at Rome, where his death occurred. IN THE OPPOSITE SUB-LIBRARIAN'S STUDY. 25. A warrior on horseback, enamelled on copper, and marked 'Ezechias.' 26. A Greek painting on wood of St. George and the Dragon. 27. Another Greek painting on wood, on a gold ground, apparently representing two angels bowing before the Blessed Virgin, &c. 28. Heads of our Blessed Lord, and of King Charles I, painted on copper.
