ot appear to be "_a single brick_ in or
about the whole fabric, except a few in the south porch, placed there of
late years."

There is a matter of great archaeological interest connected with the part
of the church which is built of brick; for, as there is reason to believe
that the chancel was raised in the year 1285, there is good foundation for
the supposition, that Hull was "the first town to restore in this country
the useful art of brickmaking" (Frost's _Hull_, p. 138.). The walls of the
town, which were erected by royal licence in 1322, and still standing with
their gates and towers in the time of Leland and Camden, are described by
them as being of brick. Leland also says (_Itin._, edit. Hearne, fol. 53.)
that the greater part of the "houses of the town at that tyme (Richard II.)
was made al of brike."

Minor Notes.

_Italian-English_ (Vol. viii., p. 436.).--The following wholesale
assassination of the English language was perpetrated in the form of a

famous, and splendid collection of old goods, all quite new, excavated
from private personal diggings. He sells cooked clays, old marble
stones, with basso-relievos, with stewing-pots, brass sacrificing pots,
and antik lamps. Here is a stocking of calves heads and feets for
single ladies and amateurs travelling. Also old coppers and
candlesticks; with Nola jugs, Etruscan saucers, and much more
intellectual minds articles; all entitling him to learned man's
inspection to examine him, and supply it with illustrious protection,
of which he hope full and valorous satisfaction.

"N. B.--He make all the old thing brand new for gentlemans who has
collections, and wishes to change him. He have also one manner quite
original for make join two sides of different monies; producing one
medallion, all indeed unique, and advantage him to sell by exportation
for strange cabinets and museums of the exterior potentates."
