l am enabled to present an excellent illustra-
ton Of this interesting candle urn Does
any one know of an earlier dated piece OF Delft

Next probably in dnto to the urn Just de-
scribed among the pieces preserved in this
country IS n dinner plate bearing In blue the
rudely painted inscription, God Bless King
George, l7l4," which covers the entire centre
OF the piece, n most interesting example OF
early Dutch ware. the property of Francis VI.
Brooke OF Philadelphia. This WAS evidently
issued when George l. assembled tho throne of
England. II is probable TINT many similar
pieces were produced to commemorate that
event, but this is perhaps the only one which
found its way TO this country, or which. Mt
least, is now known on this side of the ocean.
We know that many pieces were made In IIol-
land for the English market. many OF them
bearing English Inscriptions, before tho Brit
isl pOtters commenced to initiate the ware.
II Is probable. also. that English w0rkmen
were employed in some of the earliest Delft

Then came another well-known female crank,

ntion OF II little claim for s175, 900, 900 against

the bench. coughed deprecntingly. and said:
"Miiuds. it's only n small matter To which I

Then a male crank had an application TO

naturally and cxpeditiously. and then the
serious work OF the court was taken up.

| described in n despatch to TIE SrS not
long ngo the strict censorship which English
burial ground authorities maintain over the
Inscriptions which bcrcnved relations desire to
place over the graves of their loved Cncs. 1t
may be admitted, perhaps. that this power was
wisely exercised by the East Grinsted Burial
Board this week. a man whose wife was
buried in the cemetery early in TIE winter
asked permission to erect a hcadstonc with an
inscription upon IL, partly in reference to his
departed spouse. and partly anticipating his
own demise. The full legend was to run thus.
This is In memory OF -. wife OF -, who
died Nov. 81, ls05, aged ~sixty-nve years.
Weep not for me-, husband dear,
am not dead, but siecpeth here;
Your loss Ia great but must remain

dIod II
Those words above are very true.
My loss was great when l lost you;
have fingered on in sorrow and pain.
But I hope In heaven to meet again.
The Board finally consented to pass the first
section Of the inscription, but pending the be-
reaved authors death. they declined to sane
ton the last lines. II. r. c..
