Historic notices, with topographical and other gleanings descriptive of the borough and county-town of Flint . ll preserved. The first large life-size, seated, in royal robes, diapered with a coronet R.; used tohang in Westminster Abbey above the Lord Chancellors pew, next to thepulpit; it was removed in 1775 to the Jerusalem Chamber, wh^re it has hungever since; it is supposed to represent the King in the Coronation Chair, onthe Feast of the Translation of King Edward the Confessor. Dr. Waagensays of this portrait, The development of art shown in this portrait is far toogreat to be of the time of this king. Perhaps it is a copy from an original,now lost, of the first half of the i6th century. The second portrait is at theEarl of Pembrokes, at Wilton. It is called the work of an early Englishartist, and is thus described : Wings of a diptych, with portrait of Richard II.,and his patron saints (Edmund, Edward the Confessor, and John the Baptist)on one leaf, and the Madonna and Child with Angels on the other.
