Amongst other things I saw in this museum were some gold signet rings with Iberian characters, two very ancient bronze statues, a Mercury; a Hercules excavated in Galicia; and about twenty sharp bronze hatchets; also a number of stone arrow-heads. Every age is represented in that little museum. I was shown Greek crosses; Byzantine pictures; some Limoges vessels (enamelled) of the sixteenth century; a splendid collection of French Imperial medals, and a watch made entirely of wood, from Lugo. After we had seen everything indoors, Señor Ciceron took me out into his garden to see some statues that had formed part of one of the original façades of the Cathedral. He had saved them from some rubbish heap, and used them to ornament his garden wall. _Note._--I have been obliged, from lack of space, to omit two chapters describing the monasteries of _San Martin Pinario_, _San Lorenzo_, _San Francisco_, and _Santo Domingo_--four remarkable relics of the Middle Ages which no visitor to Santiago should fail to see.--AUTHOR.
