those of modern Churchwardens on their heads. I am, Sir, yours very truly, F. W. FAIRHOLT. MR. G. WILLIS. MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF LINCOLNSHIRE. The Lincolnshire Architectural Society propose to superintend the publication of the most interesting Monumental Brasses of that County. The work to be comprised in 12 parts, containing about five plates each; and published at intervals of two months: with a small volume of descriptive letter-press at the close of the series. Brasses from the following churches (among others) will be included in this series:--Barton, Boston, Buslingthorpe, Great Coates, Croft, Covenham, Grainthorpe, Gunby, Hainton, Irnham, South Kelsey, Linwood, South Ormsby, Spilsby, Tattershall, Wrangle, &c. The Rev. F. P. Lowe, Saltfleetby, Louth, is the Hon. Sec. of the Lincolnshire Architectural Society. But the work will not be issued till a sufficient number of subscribers, at £1 4_s_, or at about 6_d_ per plate, has been obtained to ensure the Society against any loss. ARCHÆOLOGICAL SOCIETIES, AND THEIR WORKS. Northampton, March 14th, 1852. SIR,--I am rather amused (see p. 12 "Current Notes" for February last) at the apparent strength of Architectural Science in the Midland Counties. There are, it seems, _four_ Societies, and in one year they publish almost one volume! If _four_ Societies can only produce one "handsome octavo volume" in so long a period, I should suggest their dissolving themselves, and let some _one_ active and competent member do the work. The truth is, half of these _Societies_ are merely architectural Mrs. Harrises--talked about, but seldom or never seen. One liberal man, who would give a couple of hundred of pounds towards a work published by some creditable architect, would beat them all. I am, Sir, yours truly, ANTI-SOCIALIST. MR. WILLIS. WIERX, THE ENGRAVER. April 2nd, 1852. SIR,--I shall be obliged by any reference you can give me, through your interesting columns, to the works and date of an old engraver, "H. Wierx," and oblige Yours, W. W. C. Mr. WILLIS. THE PILLAR PRINT OF OLIVER CROMWELL. Brompton, April 10th, 1852.
