_Monument at Wadstena_ (Vol. vi., pp. 388. 518.).--I have received the
following (which I translate) from my friend in Denmark, whom I mentioned
in my last communication on this monument:
"It is only about a month since I saw Queen Philippa's tombstone in the
church of Vadstena Monastery. It is a very large stone, on which the
device and inscription are cut in outline, but there is no _brass_
about it. King Erik Menved's and Queen Ingeberg's monument in Ringsted
Church is the finest brass I ever saw, and I have seen many."
There is a good engraving of the brass alluded to, which is a very rich
one, in _Antiquariske Annaler_, vol. iii.: Copenhagen, 1820. The
inscriptions are curious, and the date 1319.
