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.

In your Number for Feb. 15th, I find MR. EDWARD PEACOCK, Jun.,
of Bottesford Moors, Messingham, Kirton Lindsey, wishes to collect
church memorials for work he intends to publish. If he would like the
accounts of monuments in the immediate neighbourhood of Reading, as
far as I am able it would give me pleasure to send some to him.
JULIA R. BOCKETT.
Southcote Lodge, near Reading.
The second makes us acquainted with a plan for the publication of a
Monumenta Anglicana by MR. DUNKIN,--a plan which would have
our hearty concurrence and recommendation, if it were at all
practicable; but which, it will be seen at a glance, must fail from its
very vastness. If the Monumentarium of Exeter contains the material for
half a moderate-sized octavo volume, in what number of volumes does
MR. DUNKIN propose to complete his collection--even if a want of
purchasers of the early volumes did not nip in the bud his praiseworthy
and well-intentioned scheme?
Your correspondent MR. EDW. PEACOCK, Jun, may be interested in
knowing that a work has some time been projected by my friend Mr.
Alfred John Dunkin of Dartford (whose industry and antiquarian
learning render him well fitted
