This neglect is not surprising when it is realised that brasses are generally to be found in the most inaccessible spots ? under pews and mats, behind the organ and, in one instance on the steeple roof. The author deals mainly with a representative selection of brasses in the southern half of England. In this area were concentrated the majority of the mediaeval market towns that traded with France and the Low Countries, and consequently the area is rich in brasses of English and Continental origin.* This is a VG copy of the 5th./1st. with absolutely minimal shelf wear but some age.*
