Monumental Brasses in Kent

( 131 ) l\l[ONU MEN'l'AL BRASSES IN K􀀜N'l'. BY RALPH GRIFFIN, F.S.A. UP to the present time no paper in Archl), Suoreb.11,m, '11,1ro,vley, '.Vllurnua.m, Willlliu,:too, Wittersb.am, Wouldha,m. t E.g., at Uiddendeu tllree are omitted. 136 MONUM.EN'J:'A:.1, BRASSES IN ItEN'l'. cannot be relied on. The illustrations, too, are often cramped by considemtions of space, and shields and other det,n.ils appear where they should not. Another work of the same description is Ancien,t Memorial Brasses, by Mr. E. T. Beaumoot (Humplirey Milford, 1913, Bvo.). Like Mr. Suffiing, the author lacks equipment, and makes many mistakes which shoulu have been avoided. For instance, Mr. Beaumont, :finding '' De bello campo" in an inscription, transla.tes it "From the b,t!itle-field." The ho)k cannot be commended, thoug-h the illustrations are fair. Not many Kentish examples are given. Amongst the shilling manuals issued by the Cambridge University Press is one published in 1912 on Brasses by M:1'. J. S. M. Ward. It is satisfactory so far as it goes, being larg·ely founded on Mr. :Mackliu's book mentioned above. Of the twenty-five illustrations five are from Kent. Our member Mr. Georg·e Clinch is the author of many popular handbooks on antiquarian subjects ,vhich he frequently illustrates from Kentish brass es.
