The biographer referred to is generally so very accurate, that if there be an error, it must be owing to a misprint.—Yours obediently, "J. E." Thus far the two writers who have so eloquently and agreeably treated of the antiquities of Llandanwg and its vicinity. I hope, by the time summer comes round, that the church will have been sur¬ veyed and delineated, and a subscription for its restoration (to which I will gladly contribute) set on foot, through the medium of our Association.—I remain, &c, An Antiquary. Feb. 26, 1856. JACOBITE RELICS, DENBIGHSHIRE. To the Editor of the Archceologia Cambrensis. Sir,—In a note, at p. 175 of the third edition of Brittannia De- picta, we read:—" Near this town [Ruthin] at a place called Keven Coch, in the parish of Llanfair, lives the truly religious, ingenious, and learned Mr. Henry Price, no less a pattern of Charity and moral Virtues than a profound divine, wanting only the convenient principles of some persons to render his Fortunes equal to his Merit." For the explanation of this comment on the merits and principles of Mr. Price, we turn to the church of the parish alluded to, and there we find the following inscription on a mural tablet affixed to the east end of the chancel:— H. S. E. Rev. Vir. Henr. Price, senectute quidem Si unquam invidenda spectabilis, Erga Deum Pietate, Erga cives morum integrilate spectatissimus, In oppido Ruthin : Archidascali munus Quoad salva. licuit conscientia Summa fide ac industria sustinuit. Cum vero no vis non permittentibus legibus Provinciam hanc publicam obire diutius nequiverit Privatim, tamen, in Patriae utilitatem et decus Eidem operi incubuit; Inque eo per multos annos delitescens sane Non ignotus consenuit. Eheu ! non satis Patriae vixerat. Animam Ccelo maturam tandem Deo reddidit Anno iEtatis lxxi. Haec quicunque legis, Alumnus Ruthinensis Lugeas necesse est dum memineris Cui debeo quod legis, Neque hunc, proh dolor, siccis mortuum respiciamus
