[There is a beautiful representation of the very curious plate of brass
inlaid on the table monument of Roger Thornton, the celebrated patron
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, temp. Henry IV., and still preserved in the
Church of All Saints in that town, engraved in Brand's _History of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne_, vol. i. p. 382. Mention is also made by that
author of another work containing it, entitled _Monuments in the
Churches of St. Nicholas and All Saints_.]
_Imperfect Bible._--A Bible has lately come into my possession in an
imperfect state. It is in black letter, 4to., with the capitals commencing
the chapters in Roman letters. I wish to know the date and printer. It
begins at fol. 7., at the end of the 6th verse of xvth chapter of Genesis,
"counted that to him for righteousness." There are a number of engravings
representing the instruments used in the temple and tabernacle, at fol. 36.
38. 40. 62. 160. &c. There is no date, but I think it is about 1590 or
1600.
