The material of the whole church is not, also, "brick with stone dressings," as the note informs us, only the chancel, south porch, and south transept; all the rest is of stone, and in a very sad state of repair. A few years ago, the south transept was restored; but the ornamental part was worked in such bad stone, that the crockets of the pinnacles have already begun to moulder away. It is a curious fact, that Bishop Lyttleton, who visited Hull in 1756 for the express purpose of "examining the walls of the town, and the materials of which the Holy Trinity Church is constructed," should have stated in the _Archæologia_ (vol. i. p. 146.) that there did not appear to be "_a single brick_ in or about the whole fabric, except a few in the south porch, placed there of late years." There is a matter of great archæological interest connected with the part of the church which is built of brick; for, as there is reason to believe that the chancel was raised in the year 1285, there is good foundation for the supposition, that Hull was "the first town to restore in this country the useful art of brickmaking" (Frost's _Hull_, p. 138.). The walls of the town, which were erected by royal licence in 1322, and still standing with their gates and towers in the time of Leland and Camden, are described by them as being of brick. Leland also says (_Itin._, edit. Hearne, fol. 53.) that the greater part of the "houses of the town at that tyme (Richard II.) was made al of brike." R. W. ELLIOT.

He sells cooked clays, old marble stones, with basso-relievos, with stewing-pots, brass sacrificing pots, and antik lamps. Here is a stocking of calves heads and feets for single ladies and amateurs travelling. Also old coppers and candlesticks; with Nola jugs, Etruscan saucers, and much more intellectual minds articles; all entitling him to learned man's inspection to examine him, and supply it with illustrious protection, of which he hope full and valorous satisfaction. "N. B.--He make all the old thing brand new for gentlemans who has collections, and wishes to change him. He have also one manner quite original for make join two sides of different monies; producing one medallion, all indeed unique, and advantage him to sell by exportation for strange cabinets and museums of the exterior potentates."
