SUGGESTIONS FOR PRESERVING A RECORD OF EXISTING MONUMENTS.
When, in the opening Number of the present Volume (p. 14), we called the
attention of our readers to the _Monumentarium of Exeter Cathedral_, we
expressed a hope that the good services which Mr. Hewett had thereby
rendered to all genealogical, antiquarian, and historical inquirers would
be so obvious as to lead a number of labourers into the same useful field.
That hope bids fair to be fully realised. In Vol. iii., p. 116., we printed
a letter from MR. PEACOCK, announcing his intention of copying the
inscriptions in the churches and churchyards of the Hundred of Manley; and
we this week present our readers with three fresh communications upon the
subject.
We give precedence to MISS BOCKETT'S, inasmuch as it involves no general
proposal upon the subject, but is merely expressive of that lady's
willingness, in which we have no doubt she will be followed by many of her
countrywomen to help forward the good work.
