Nov. 8, 1849.
[We have much pleasure in inserting the foregoing QUERY, and
trust that many of our correspondents will follow the example of
_Clericus_, by furnishing us with copies of the inscriptions on
any ancient church plate in their possession, or which may come
under their notice. A comparison of examples will often serve to
remove such difficulties as the present, which perhaps may be read
DERIN FRID GEHWART, "Therein Peace approved;" _Gewären_ being used
in the sense of _Bewähren_, authority for which may be found in
Wackernagel.]
