Mr. Editor,--Herewith I have the pleasure of sending you a tracing of
the legend round a representation of St. Christopher, in a latten dish
belonging to a friend of mine, and apparently very similar to the
alms-basins described by CLERICUS in No. 3.
The upper line--"In Frid gichwart der," written from right to left, is
no doubt to be read thus: _Derin Frid gichwart_. The lower line contains
the same words transposed, with the variation of "gehwart" for
"gichwart." The words "gehwart" and "gichwart" being no doubt blunders
of an illiterate artist.
