The Ancient Sepulchral Monuments
of Essex.

BY FRED. CHANCELLOR, ARCHITECT, F.R.I.B.A.

Under this title it is proposed to publish a Work containing Illustrations, with descriptive text, of the principal Altar Tombs, Effigies, Mural Tablets, and other Memorial Monuments of a date prior to the year 1700, now to be found in the Parish Churches and other places in the County of Essex.

The Illustrations will all be drawn to scale from measurements taken on the spot, with Plans, Elevations and Sections, and, where justified by their importance, with details to a larger scale of the Mouldings and Ornaments, and will include at least 150 Plates of Monuments to members of the following Families:--De Vere, Bourchier, Botetort, Pointz, Marney, Fitzwalter, Ratclifife, De Horkesley, Waldegrave, Mildmay, Smyth, Swynborne, Salberghe, Wiseman, Fyndorne, Gilberd, Petre, Cammocke, Hawkwood, Southcotte, Everard, D’Arcy, Cooke, Stanley, Merry, Audley, Deane, Tryon, Sparrowe, Saunders, Harlakenden, Maynard, Guyon, Freshwater, Wentworth, Northwood, Maxey, Rich, Bendish, Capel, Luckyn, Honywood, Carew, Hervey, Conyers, Monox, Trafford, Tyrell, Cutte, Middleton, Salusbury, Bramston, Rudd, Kempe, Berners, Nivell, Montague, Bertie, Hicks, Webbe, Goring, &c., &c.

The Letterpress of about 150 pages will include a description of each Monument, and, when practicable, a short biographical sketch, with the Family History, Heraldry (if any), and other curious information relating to the person or persons to whom the Monument is erected, and any other matter of Architectural or Antiquarian Interest connected therewith.

The Author has been led to undertake this work for the purpose of preserving correct illustrations of the numerous highly interesting Monuments which still remain scattered about the County of Essex in many of the old Churches, and elsewhere. These old Monuments, from the nature of their construction and materials, are necessarily of a perishable character, and, as a matter of fact, we find that many of those which are mentioned by Weever in his “Funeral Monuments” have disappeared altogether; it is therefore important that an accurate record should be taken of those which still remain without further delay. Many of them, apart from their architectural beauty, are immensely interesting from their historical associations; it is hoped, therefore, that this work will commend itself to that increasing class who now make Archæology and everything connected therewith a favourite study.

The Volume will be published rather larger than Quarto Imperial, viz., 16 inches by 12 inches, on toned paper. The Illustrations will be Photo lithographed from the original Drawings, and the Letterpress printed in large clear type. The price of the Book to Subscribers will be £3 3s. A limited number of copies will be printed. Immediately after publication the price will be raised to £4 4s.

_For Prospectus and order forms apply to the Author, or to Messrs. Edmund Durrant & Co., Publishers, Chelmsford._

RAYS OF LIGHT,

“Unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing
in his wings.”--MAL. iv. 2.

I’ve found a joy in sorrow,
A secret balm for pain,
A beautiful to-morrow,
Of sunshine after rain.

COMPILED BY EDITH L. WELLS.

With a Preface

BY THE REV. PREBENDARY HUTTON.

Messrs. Edmund Durrant & Co. have the honour to announce that they will publish early in 1887 a devotional book, consisting of portions of Scripture, and suitable Prayers and Hymns very carefully selected from the works of many of our best known authors, both ancient and modern; the work has been compiled with great care by Mrs. H. C. WELLS, of Broomfield Lodge, Chelmsford.

The book will be well printed in clear type, on good paper, and strongly bound, and will comprise about 416 pages.

The price of the book will be 6s., but it will be supplied to subscribers who send in their names to the publishers, Messrs. Edmund Durrant & Co., High Street, Chelmsford, before publication, at 4s. 6d. per copy. _A specimen page and order form will be sent post free on application._ It is earnestly hoped that all who can will subscribe for one or more copies.

Unless liberal support be given it is almost impossible to publish works of this character without pecuniary loss. A limited number of copies only will be printed. Early application is therefore very necessary. Immediately after publication the price will be raised to 6s.
