    COURLANDIC. The Lord’s Prayer. Orat. Dom. Amst. p. 84. Domesday. In page 50 of this book, I have given a specimen of the Norman chara&er, cut by Cottrell, which was intended for this celebrated national Mrork. The present is an impres- sion from the same types that the folio edition of Domesday was printed with, and is composed from that part relating to the county of Dorset, p. 84-6. This letter was cut by my late friend Joseph Jackson, in a manner more success- ful than his fellow-labourer : he also engraved a variety of types for the Rolls of Parliament, a work which will ever refleft honor on the good taste of the present reign. I am indebted to my friend and antiquary, J. Nichols, for enabling me to gratify the' curious with this specimen.
