ILLUSTRATIONS

OF THE

PRECEDING INSCRIPTIONS ;

To which are added the names of places where they were set up,

as correctly noted as could be obtained,-still, it is feared, imperfectly.

Page 559. The inscription for Dr. Thackeray was solicited by his learned descendant the present Dr. Thackeray of Chester. It was never, we believe, inscribed on his tomb.

: Page 560. Written on the fly-leaf of the Aristarchus of Vossius. It is probably the earliest specimen of Dr. Parr's composition in this style of writing now to be found; having been written while he was an under-graduate at Emanuel college. A learned friend of the Editor suggests, that the word TANTUM, in line 5, must be an error of the transcriber.

Page 561. In the chancel of Hatton Church, to the memory of Dr. Parr's immediate predecessor in that Cure.
