_Deaths from Fasting_ (Vol. v., pp. 247. 301.).--In the _Oxford Manual
of Sepulchral Brasses_, pp. 168-175., will be found a curious list of
monumental representations of skeletons and emaciated figures in shrouds
(1472-1598), which may, perhaps, prove interesting to BURIENSIS. It is
by no means improbable that some of the examples are intended to
commemorate persons whose deaths occurred in consequence of fasting.
