APPENDIX I.
* * * * *
The printing of this work was just concluded, when the author was
favored with drawings, accompanied with short descriptions, of the
chapel of our _Lady of the Delivrande_, near Caen, and of an ancient
font at Magneville, near Valognes. For the former he is indebted to
Mr. Cohen, to whom he has so often in the course of the work, had
occasion to express his obligations; for the latter, to M. de
Gerville, an able antiquary at Valognes. Both these subjects are of
such a nature, that he is peculiarly happy to be able to add them to
his imperfect account of the Antiquities of Normandy: the whole duchy
does not contain a religious building more celebrated for its
sanctity than the chapel; and while ancient fonts of any description
are rare in the province, he doubts if another is to be found like
that of Magneville, ornamented with sculpture and an inscription.
