Having once risen into the cup, the same law of hydrostatic

by Mr. Syer Cuming. To Mr. C.'s list may be added, Charter House,
London; Newport, S.W.; and Lowestoft, Suffolk.

_Dogs in Monuments._--S.S.S. (Vol. i., p. 405.) is informed that a dog,
at the feet of monumental effigies of females, is as common as a lion
accompanying male figures. It is most probable that the dog was meant to
represent affection, fidelity, &c., just as the lion signified courage,
generosity, &c. There are, however, some instances (Deerhurst,
Gloucestershire, Ingham, Norfolk) where the dog's _name_ is inscribed;

honour of a monument, that of itself, as well as of its mistress, should
"witness live in brass.
