When, in the opening Number of the present Volume (p. 14), we called the attention of our readers to the _Monumentarium of Exeter Cathedral_, we expressed a hope that the good services which Mr. Hewett had thereby rendered to all genealogical, antiquarian, and historical inquirers would be so obvious as to lead a number of labourers into the same useful field. That hope bids fair to be fully realised. In Vol. iii., p. 116., we printed a letter from MR. PEACOCK, announcing his intention of copying the inscriptions in the churches and churchyards of the Hundred of Manley; and we this week present our readers with three fresh communications upon the subject. We give precedence to MISS BOCKETT'S, inasmuch as it involves no general proposal upon the subject, but is merely expressive of that lady's willingness, in which we have no doubt she will be followed by many of her countrywomen to help forward the good work. In your Number for Feb. 15th, I find MR. EDWARD PEACOCK, Jun., of Bottesford Moors, Messingham, Kirton Lindsey, wishes to collect church memorials for work he intends to publish. If he would like the accounts of monuments in the immediate neighbourhood of Reading, as far as I am able it would give me pleasure to send some to him. JULIA R. BOCKETT. Southcote Lodge, near Reading. The second makes us acquainted with a plan for the publication of a _Monumenta Anglicana_ by MR. DUNKIN,--a plan which would have our hearty concurrence and recommendation, if it were at all practicable; but which, it will be seen at a glance, must fail from its very vastness. If the _Monumentarium of Exeter_ contains the material for half a moderate-sized octavo volume, in what number of volumes does MR. DUNKIN propose to complete his collection--even if a want of purchasers of the early volumes did not nip in the bud his praiseworthy and well-intentioned scheme?
