* Before and after the date are impressions froma spurious Jewish Shekel, .such as are still made for

aale. The devices are corrupt followings of those

on the true shekel, and the inscriptions the same,

but in the "square" character insteiid of the original" Old Hebrew " or " Samiuitan."

Obv.—A cup (cup of manna, or wine cup?) andthe words ^H')t2?' ^pu? (shekel of Israel).

Hev.—A branch with leaves and fruit (Olive?

Aaron's rod?) and the words nu/lpn D'iityTl'

(Jerusalem the Holy).

These sham shekels were figured ;md described asreal by the nximismatistti of the 17th century, andare still to be bought in London, fresh from themint. They have become more and more deb;isedin character, but in the earliest and best of themthe imposture is as evident ;is it would be in animitation of a coin of Edward I made about twicethe proper size and with the inscription in modemRoman lettere.

THK CHURCH BELLS OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE. 73

POSTSCRIPT.

In the preceding paper, and among the bells in this Appendix, mention

has been made of the Royal Tudor Arms with a crown over (Fig. ] 1 3).

These stamps having been found all over England, it has been supposed

that they were the work of a London founder. The mystery has now been

cleared up in a Paper by J. W. Clark, M.A., lately iiul)lished by the Cambridge

Antiquarian Society, "' on the " Five Ancient Bells formerly belonging to

Kmg's College, Cambridge," where they were set up in 14()G, supplied fi'om

London by Henry Jurdon. In the accounts the name of Thouiivs Harry's of

London, a bell founder, occurs in 1478, and in 1482 the name of John

Han-ison. The bells, some being crncked, were disestablished and sold in

175G to Lester and Pack of Whitecluipel, London, at four guineas per cwt.

The sum realized was £533 10s. 3d. which was invested in 3 per cent. Bank

Annuities for the benefit of the College.

Mention also is made of " Danyell, founder of London," 1458-9. Also

in 1500, Thomas Chyi-che of Bury S. Edmund's was employed to recast the

second bell, and in 1598 Mag. Nicholson exchanged the second and third

bells, and recast the fifth.

In a deed found by Mr. Robeit Dymond, one John Cherk, bellfounder.

was living in Southgate Street, Exeter, in 1552.

By a record preserved in the muniment njom of the College the following

were the diameter-s of the bells :

No. Inches. No. Inches.

1 - 37i 4 - 561

2 - 45f 5 - 63|

3 - 50

The mscriptions are also fortunately preserved in a drawing carefully

made in 1753, and engraved in Mr. Clark's paper, quite sufficient to shew

on the first and fifth the Tudor Arms and Crown, and also the very
