Translated out of the Latin into the English Tongue. By J. F. London, 1651.”

page 386 note * These Worcester embroideries have been described by Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, in Archœological Journal, vol. xx., and Proceedings, vol. xiv. They should be compared with others found at Canterbury, also described by Mr. Hope in Vetusta Monumenta.
page 386 note † Since my paper was read the other Worcester pieces have been placed on exhibition in the Medieval Room. The portion of the buskin is much larger than the South Kensington piece, and indeed is almost complete. The ground is red silk, and the scroll work and kings are in gold thread, with a little diaper of colour on some of the robes. There are also two lozenge-shaped pieces with scroll work and a narrow strip : four pieces altogether. In the scroll work are three kings up the middle, and three little kings on either hand. The kings are probably St. Ethelbert, king and martyr, and other sainted kings. The top bo-der is nearly complete, and the whole is about 16 inches high.

page 395 note * At Stonyhurst College-is preserved a fragment on which is a knight on horseback (c. 1300) about 10 inches by 8 inches. (See plate.) It is finely drawn* in the style of the seals, and is probably the piece described by Dr. Rock as “a shred of crimson cendal or thin silk figured in gold and silver thread with a knight on horseback … at first it seemed woven, so flat and even was every thread ; looking at it, however, through a glass, we found it to have been embroidered.” The knight is St. George, for besides the cross of the arms there are little dragons on the horse trapper. Notice the dappling of the horse.
page 395 note † In Proceedings, 2nd S. ix. 281; also by Miss Morris, in the Burlington Magazine, 1905. The apostles here carry scrolls with clauses of the Creed, an interesting point. Records show that this piece is probably English, and comparisons with the examples dealt with below amply confirm this view.

page 399 note † A useful bibliography of the subject is given by A. F. Kendrick, English Embroidery, 1904. To the works there cited should be added above all M. L. De Farcy's La Broderie, with its supplement. The large collection of examples brought together in this work has made comparison easy. Some important articles by Miss Morris appeared in the Burlington Magazine for 1905. See also Mrs. A. Christie's Embroidery and Tapestry. The important illustrated Catalogue of the exhibition at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1905 has now been published.
