<consciousness," but we do not think very cogent the reasons urged by Mr. Pearson in its favour from evolution. Mr. Christopher Turnor in The Anti-Small Holdings Mania' (a paper which is well worth consideration) quotes from an Australian a very neat illustration of the difference between the English and the Australian attitude towards the man who wants a holding of his own. Mr. W. S. Weatherley gives some good advice as to the sort of memorials to erect to our soldiers, but we think this is too largely concerned with minutiæ and externals; to get a satisfactory memorial-even if it be but a simple one-Art must go down a little deeper than he has chosen to go. Bishop Bury's 'Recent Experiences in Russia ' are interesting, picturesque— in more than one passage touching. The other papers are concerned either with the management of the war, or with politics, or with burning questions, the most important of these last being Father Vaughan's strenuous and admonitory England's Empty Cradles.' The Cornhill Magazine is an unequal number. The Kaiser as his Friends knew Him,' by a 'A German Business Neutral Diplomat, and Mind,' contributed by Sir John Wolfe Barry, are both and especially the latter of some imSir Herbert portance as well as of great interest. Maxwell's Army Uniforms, Past and Present,' again, is well worth having-plenty of information And the .and also plenty of entertainment in it. stories and sketches about the war-especially Mr. Bennet Copplestone's The Lost Naval Papers 'are all lively reading. But we cannot think what we are meant to gather from The New Tempta"tion of St. Anthony '-a piece of crude and puerile sentimentality, in which the woman who is supposed to impersonate France is but a poor compliment to our Ally-would, indeed, but for the label, fail altogether to suggest her; and in which the travesty of the underlying significance of St. Anthony seems nowadays old-fashioned. Dr. A. C. Benson's counsels about the memorials to those who have fallen are not very concrete, but they may serve to give the keynote for the active performers--to use a metaphor from another art and perhaps that was all they were intended to achieve.

THE subjoined list of the Chaplains of John Fromond's Chantry at Winchester College is offered as a supplement to the list of the College Chaplains (1417-1542) which was printed at 11 S. x. 201, 221. As has been indicated already at 11 S. xii. 294, 433, Fromond's Chantry-Chapel was built after his death by his executors. Robert Thurbern, who was Warden of the College from 1413 to 1450, was one of these executors, and the building may justly be regarded as his chief work at Winchester. Following Fromond's example, he left the building of his own Chantry-Chapel to others, and Dr. John Baker was consequently engaged between (say) 1473 and 1487 in building Thurbern's Chapel and in rearing a belfry tower above it. The moneys needed for the erection of Fromond's Chapel were obtained mainly by the selling of his landed estates. These had been conveyed by him on Nov. 13, 1420 (the day before he made his will), to John Harryes, Richard Wallop, and Richard Seman, and their heirs, without mention of the trusts intended, because of the great confidence which he had in the feoffees. What the trusts really were can be learnt from the Chancery proceedings which Thurbern and John Halle (another of Fromond's executors) had to bring against Wallop and Seman in or about the year 1430, when Harryes, the other feoffee, was dead. For the bill of complaint, the subpoena to Seman (who was an executor as well as a feoffee), and Seman's depositions, see Early Chancery Proceedings,' P.R.O., bundle 8, Nos. 17-19; see also the petition of Thurbern and Halle to Cardinal Beaufort, telling the like story, but with some variations of detail, a copy of which is preserved at the College. These documents show that Fromond had intended that all his estates, other than those expressly disposed of by his will, should be sold by the feoffees under directions from the executors, and that the executors should expend the proceeds in the building of a chapel over Fromond's grave in the centre of The occasion of the the College Cloisters. litigation in Chancery was an alleged attempt by Wallop to secure two of Fromond's properties, the manor of Fernhill and some lands at Alverstoke, for his own son, Richard Wallop junior, without any payment being made for them. Wallop senior was Fromond's successor as Steward of the College lands, but he vacated the office shortly before the litigation began. (Cf. 12 S. i. 362, No. 27.) The upshot was that the manor of Fernhill eventually came to the College as an additional endowment for the Chantry. By the deed of Nov. 13, 1420, Fromond divided his estates into no fewer than seventeen parcels. He disposed of only three of them by his will: 1. He directed that, after his wife's death, what may be called his home property (the manor of Sparsholt, &c.), which he had inherited from his grandfather, Richard Fromond, should go to John, Esteney and his heirs, but on the terms that a chaplain should be provided at St. Stephen's Church, Sparsholt, to celebrate daily at St. Katherine's altar for the souls of Fromond and his wife and certain of their relatives and ancestors. This property was duly conveyed upon these terms, by Harryes, Wallop, and Seman, to Esteney by a deed dated Tuesday next before the feast of St. George the Martyr, 10 H. V. (i.e., April 21, 1422), a copy of which was entered in our' Registrum rubrum,' fol. 126. As Fromond's widow, (The Organ of the British Book Trade).
