THE CHURCH OF HAL, NEAR BRUSSELS.

Must have had a very fine rood loft originally, but being a place of

pilgrimage, it became most unfortunately very rich from offerings, which

were employed (with the best possible intention) to destroy the ancient

furniture of the church; the great rood itself, elaborately carved,

hangs up on the south side of the great tower, and is a fine specimen of

what the beauty of the loft must have been in the old time.
