["It should rather be _Dornecks_," says Forby, "which is the proper

Flemish name of _Tournai_, a Frenchified name, long since universally

substituted. Two hundred years ago it was celebrated for its coarse

woollen manufactures, principally of carpets and hangings, mentioned in

some of our old comedies. Probably thick gloves were another article of

importation. Our modern _dannocks_, indeed, are of thick leather, and

made at home by our own glovers. Dan. _dorneck_."]

_Brass in All Saints, Newcastle-upon-Tyne._--In the Church of All Saints,

Newcastle-upon-Tyne (an erection dating at some period of the Protestant

dark ages), there is a magnificent Flemish brass, of which the incumbent

refuses to allow a rubbing to be taken, on the ground that the process

would _injure_ it! Can any of your correspondents tell me if it has been

engraved, and where?
