At this close of the Series of Views, and as we are approaching the
conclusion of our volume, it may not be amiss to recapitulate the several
engravings, with their pages in the preceding and present volumes of the
MIRROR, and the order in which they stand in the Regent's Park, which
order circumstances have prevented our uniformly following in their
publication: thus--
_Buildings_. _Architects_. _Mirror, Vol._ _Page._
Ulster Terrace xi 401
York Terrace Nash xiii 129
Sussex Place Nash xiii 273
Cornwall Terrace D. Burton xiii 305
Clarence Terrace D. Burton xii 17
Hanover Terrace Nash x 313
Hanover Lodge xiii 49
Grove House D. Burton xiii 49
Marquess of Hertford's Villa D. Burton xiii 81
Macclesfield Bridge Morgan xiii 351
East (now Gloucester) Gate xi 225
St. Katherine's Poynter xi 273
Master's Residence Poynter xi 289
Cumberland Terrace Nash xiii 401
Chester Terrace Nash xiii 193
Exterior of the Colosseum D. Burton xiii 65
Interior of the Colosseum D. Burton xiii 97
In this _Series_ we have endeavoured to represent all the architectural
beauties of the Park, and liable as are all of them to critical objection,
they are extremely interesting for pictorial displays of the taste of this
castle-building age.

THE KING'S STAG, &C.
_(To the Editor of the Mirror.)_
As several of your correspondents have lately interested themselves in the
sign of "The Cat and Fiddle;" a few observations may not be thought
irrelevant, on the probable origin of the "King's Stag," a description of
which, under the signature, _Ruris_, appeared in the MIRROR, of Saturday,
the 30th ult. Its rise may, I conceive, with tolerable certainty, be
traced to the stag said to have been taken in the Forest of Senlis, by
Charles the Sixth, about whose neck was a collar, with the inscription,
"_Caesar hoc mihi donavit_," which induced a belief that the animal had
lived from the reign of some one of the twelve Caesars. This inscription
also exists in the following form:--
"Tempore, quo Caesar Româ, dominatus in altâ
Aureolo jussit collum signare moniti;
Ne depascentem quisquis me gramina laedat,
Caesaris heu causâ, periturae parcere vitae."
which has been thus literally translated in nearly the same words quoted
by _Ruris_--
