Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Monumental Brasses, Vol. 2: Comprising an Introduction to the Study of These Memorials and a List of Those Remaining in the British Isles Unless otherwise stated, the following particulars are to be taken for granted: - mural brasses have the figures kneeling and of small size; Ecclesiastics are in eucharistical vestments; Knights, Esquires, and Gentlemen before 1550 are represented in armour, after that date in civil costume; and canopies have as many pediments as there are principal figures beneath them. Words or dates enclosed in rectangular brackets contain information which cannot be ascertained from the present state of the brass. When the inscription, &c., is described as lost, the brackets are omitted. The dates in Clarendon type are those of the engraving of the brasses, usually the date of decease. Figures less than eighteen inches in length are described as small, above three feet and a half as large. The author has examined rubbings of those brasses which have not the marks attached to them. An asterisk prefixed to a notice of a brass, or to the name of a church containing one or more brasses, indicates that the description has been obtained from recent communications or publications, and is most probably correct. The mark f, placed before a few notices of brasses, implies that their present existence or the accuracy of their description is uncertain. Notices of Inscriptions of slight interest or unauthenticated are generally omitted. The reference to pages of the Introduction is placed at the end of the description of the brasses. The titles of works in which engravings of brasses are to be found are printed in italics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
