"The phenomenal output of cheap reprints of the classics has done little to impair the popularity of 'Bohn's Libraries.' These still hold first place in the estimation of those who value scholarly accuracy of text rather than ornateness of binding, and the comprehensiveness of the scope has never yet been excelled in a uniform series."-OUTLOOK. 66 The new series of 'Bohn's Libraries' on which judicious book-buyers have long learned to keep a careful eye."—ATHENÆum.

THE glass comprised in this list is the subject of a large number of water-colour drawings, the size of the originals, and, as far as possible, facsimile, which I began in August, 1909, which I am still engaged upon, and which will, no doubt, take some years to finish. My object is to register and copy every scrap, however fragmentary, of ancient painted glass in the churches of the county, and I do not think that so far any old piece has escaped my notice. I endeavour to include in the collection ancient glass which may happen to have found its way into modern churches, as at Noak Hill, near Romford. There are not, I think, many instances of this in Essex, but, as such cases are not easy to hear of when they occur out of one's own neighbourhood, I shall be grateful for information about any painted glass older than 1700 in modern churches in the county. This remark may be taken to apply, also, to old glass in private houses. The Roman numerals in this list refer to the number attached to the drawings in my collection. HUNDRED OF BECONTRE.

Ilford, Great (Hospital of Our Lady and St. Thomas of Canterbury).-This ancient leper hospital has for many years been used as a church, the main building, or hall, being treated as the nave, and the old chapel at the east end serving as the chancel. The whole building is usually known as St. Mary's Hospital Church or the Hospital Church. In the old chapel, or chancel, are:In the south window.
