ow of the choir of York Minster is a shield of arms, bearing the
arms of Archbishop Bowett, who held the see from 1407 to 1423, impaled by
the pall and pastoral staff, on a field _gules_. The glass is to all
appearance of the fifteenth century.

_Leman Family_ (Vol. viii., p. 150.).--Without being able to give a
substantial reply to R. W. L.'s Query, it may assist him to know that Sir
John Leman had but _one_ brother (William), who certainly did not emigrate
from his native land. Sir John died, March 26, 1632, without issue; and was
buried in the chancel of St. Michael, Crooked Lane, London. His elder
brother, William, had five sons; all settled comfortably in England, and
not at all likely to have left their native country. One of the _Heralds'
Visitations_ for the counties of Norfolk or Suffolk would materially assist
your Philadelphian correspondent.

_Position of Font_ (Vol. vii., p. 149.).--In the church of Milton near
Cambridge, the font is _built into_ the north pier of the chancel arch; and
from the appearance of the masonry, &c., this is evidently the original
position. I have visited some hundreds of churches, and this is the only
instance I have observed of a font in this position. Numerous instances
occur where it is _built into_ the south-western pier of the nave.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Our worthy publisher has just issued a volume which will be welcome, for
the excellence of its matter and the beauty of its various illustrations,
to all archaeologists. These _Memoirs illustrative of the History and
Antiquities of Bristol and the Western Counties of Great Britain, and other
Communications made to the Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute
held at Bristol in 1851_, certainly equal in interest and variety any of
their predecessors, and whether as a memorial of their visit to Bristol to
those who attended the meeting, or as a pleasant substitute to those who
did not, will doubtless find a resting-place on the shelf of every member
of the Society whose proceedings they record.

We cannot better recommend to our readers Dr. Madden's newly published
_Life and Martyrdom of Savonarola, illustrative of the History of Church
and State Connexion_, than by stating that this remarkable man, whom some
Protestants have claimed as of their own creed, while as many Romanists
