The Plate of St. George's Chapel. By E. Alfred Jones.

(S.P.C.K. 5s.)

IN Canon 011ard's series of monographs on St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Mr. Alfred Jones's scholarly and well illustrated account of the plate is of special interest. Though few of the pieces are earlier than the Restoration, the superb silver made in London under Charles II and his brother is well represented, notably in two great flagons embossed with feathers, by an unidentified " T.B." of 1662. Mr. Jones says that the best collection of such English church flagons is—or was—in the Kremlin, of all places.
