77.  The monument inscribed to the
memory of Sir Gilbert Lort, of Stackpole
in Pembrokeshire, who died Sept. 19, 1698,
was erected to his memory by his sister
Dame Elizabeth Campbell of Calder in
Scotland.  The author of The Review of
the public buildings, &c. observes, that the
two boys here placed on each side a little
tomb, are in a very pretty taste, and a per-
fect contrast to each other; one represent-
ing passionate, exclamatory grief, and the
other still and silent; and adds, " 'Tis pity
" they are divided by so bad an ornament
" in the middle: had they leaned on a
" single urn, which, in the antique taste,
" might have been supported to hold his
" ashes, they would have had a fine effect,
" and challenged more admiration than
" many a more pompous and expensive pile."

78.  The monument erected to Hugh
Chamberlayne, M.D. was some years ago
esteemed one of the best pieces in the
Abbey; but some of the later monuments
greatly exceed it.  The principal figure
lies, as it were, at ease, upon a tomb stone,
leaning upon his right arm, with his hand
upon his night cap, and his head uncover-
ed.  In his left hand, he holds a book, to
shew his intense application to study.  On
each side are the emblems of Physic and
Longevity; and over his head, is Fame de-
scending with a trumpet in one hand, and
a wreath in the other.  On the top are
weeping cherubs, and on the pedestal a long
Latin inscription, which mentions his great
knowledge and industry in his profession,
his humanity in relieving the sick, and his
affinities and connection in social and pri-
vate life.  He died June 17, 1728, aged
sixty-four.

79.  The tomb of Almericus de Courcy,
Baron of Kinsale, in Ireland, is ornamented
with the figure of his Lordship in armour,
reposing himself after the fatigues of an ac-
tive life, under a gilded canopy.  The in-
scription shews, that he was descended
from the famous John de Courcy, Earl of
Ulster, who in the reign of King John, in
