Page 25.--This passage proves that in the time and country of Durandus seats or chairs except in the choir were unknown. Though in England Early English or Early Decorated open seats do occur, as in Clapton-in-Gordan, Somersetshire, they are very rare, and take up much less of the church than is the case in later examples. See 'Hist, of Pews,' 3rd ed., pp. 19, 20, 79. Page 39.--The reader is aware that the words _in medio_ of the early Christian altars gave rise to the warmest disputes between the Puritans and the Catholics of the 17th century. The Puritans insisted that they meant in the _body_ of the church: the Catholics generally, and more particularly that most able defender of altars, Dr. Laurence, insisted that when the fathers spoke of an alter _in medio_, they only meant one so placed as to be where all might see it. The words undoubtedly may bear this meaning: yet perhaps it is better to understand them, as they must be understood in this passage of Durandus, of an altar placed in the chord of the segment of a circle formed by the apse. See _Ecclesiologist_, vol. ii, p. 13. Page 46, note 20.--This is a mistake. The fresco alluded to represents a priest repeating the Pater Noster (which is written in his open book) at the N. W. angle of an altar. Upon the altar are two candlesticks and a ciborium: rising out of the latter is the figure of our Blessed Lord. There can be no doubt of the objectionable nature of such a representation. Page 54--The nimbus of the Saviour, it is perhaps needless to observe in explanation, is always inlaid, as it were, with a cross: at least the exceptions are excessively rare. Page 54--These 'carved figures' probably signify the corbels. Page 54, note 54.--There is a valuable article on the nimbus by M. Didron from the _Revue Générale de l'Architecture_ in the _Literary Gazette_ for Dec. 1842. An example is there given of the square nimbus in the case of Pope Nicholas, as represented in a contemporary MS. The whole is well worth reading. Page 102.--Dedication crosses. We have seen a valuable example of these in the church of Moorlinch, Somersetshire. There are four circles containing crosses pattées on the north and south sides of the chancel; and two at the east end, in all ten: the other two have disappeared. Page 146.--The bodies of good men called horses. The same idea is worked out at great length in S. Chrysostom's earlier homilies on the Statues. {205} Page 170.--But how great is the admiration, etc. Compare S. Hildebert's hymn, _Exrta portam_, towards the conclusion: Qauntum tui gratulentur, Quam festive conviventur Quis affectus eos stringat, Et quae gemma muros pingat, Quis chalcedon, quis jacintus, _Norunt isti, quis sunt intus!_ The last line has the same beautiful turn with the expression of Hugh of S. Victor.
