Extract

When we were discussing the meaning of the phrase double maille, I earnestly advised you, when you next visited York, to examine the monumental effigy of De Mauley, in the north aisle of the chancel of the Minster. I repeated this counsel to my friends George Shaw, Esq., architect, and Thomas William King, Esq., Rouge Dragon Pursuivant at Arms, as they were about to proceed to that city. My surprise was great on being informed by both that no such figure could be found, and that the attendants in the cathedral did not seem to know anything about it.
