_Correction to the "Oxford Manual of Monumental Brasses."_--Permit me to
correct an error in the above carefully compiled and useful manual. On
p. 15. of the "Descriptive Catalogue" a brass is described, No. 32. of
their collection, to "Edward Peach, 1439;" no place is mentioned in
connexion with this brass. The notice should stand thus:
"1839. Edward Peach, _S. Chad's (R.C.) Church, Birmingham_.

"Hic jacet dmus Edwardus Peach quondam rector istius ecclesie
qui obiit die Nativitatis _Beate_ Marie Virginis Anno Domini
_milessimo_ _D_CCCXXXIX," &c.
The brass is so well _designed_ and _executed_, that it might easily
pass for an old example. By some error "s[=a]cte" has been printed for
"Beate," "millessimo" for "milessimo," and "CCCC" for "DCCC" in the
Oxford version of the inscription.
