Since I transmitted my miscellaneous observations on fonts, I have been favoured with a letter from Mr. Clarke, in which there are some passages so pertinent to the subject, as to make it advisable for me to communicate them to the Society. He is the gentleman very conversant in ancient rituals, whom I mentioned as having acquainted me that the same vase for Holy water was sometimes called Fons; and as before he had apprized me of this circumstance, I could only by implication collect from conslitutions provincial and synodical that this was one meaning of that word, I desired him to let me know where he had met with this use of it. Having likewise noticed in a paper written by him, and inserted in the Gentleman's Magazine, vol. LVII. p. 661, that fonts were to be surrounded with a lattice; I expressed a wish to learn his authority, no such direction occurring in the conslitution of archbishop Edmund, which he had just before cited.
