Sinopsis

Excerpt from Chronograms Continued: And Concluded More Than 5000 in Number a Supplement-Volume to 'Chronograms' Published in the Year 1882

Here are three chronograms, and good ones, because they fulfil the leading condition 1n the composition of chronograms, that of counting every letter that can be used as a numeral, and because they express a meaning appropriate to the subject and agreeable to the author of the book.

And here I take the opportunity of informing all readers of this present volume, that it is needful, and unavoidably so, to make frequent reference to the previous work, when the subject under notice will derive elucidation from a comparison of the two works.

Very few chronograms are to be found in English churches further research has brought into notice only the five which follow: the county of Devon has afforded the greatest number of examples.
