is in the handwriting of
Ferrar or Fuller?
Is there any print or view in existence of the "Nunnery," at Little
Gidding?
In the _Life of Dr. Thomas Fuller_, published anonymously in 1661, it is
stated, that at his funeral a customary sermon was preached by Dr.
Hardy, Dean of Rochester, "which hath not yet (though it is hoped and
much desired may) passe the presse," p. 63.
Query. Was this sermon ever published? and secondly, who was the author
of the _Life_ from which the above passage is quoted?
John Miland.

STUKELEY'S "STONEHENGE."
May I request a space in your periodical for the following Queries,
drawn from Dr. Stukeley's _Stonehenge and Abury_, p. 31.?
1st. "But eternally to be lamented is the loss of that tablet of
tin, which was found at this place (Stonehenge) in the time of
King Henry VIII., inscribed with many letters, but in so strange
a character that neither Sir Thomas Elliott, a learned
antiquary, nor Mr. Lilly, master of St. Paul's school, could
make any thing out of it. Mr. Sammes may be right, who judges it
to have been _Punic_. I imagine if we call it Irish we shall not
err much. No doubt but what it was a memorial of the founders,
wrote by the Druids and had it been preserved till now, would
have been an invaluable curiosity."
Can you or any of your contributors give me any further information
about this inscription?
