    our Tynwald Court has voted the sum of £2<^o out of our revenue, which, supplemented by subscriptions, has enabled the Manx Museum and Ancient Monuments Trustees to have the crosses collected in their respective parishes, placed under cover, and so arranged that they can readily be examined; and this excellent work is now being carried out as speedily as possible. Remembering the proud words of Gaut, the greatest of our ancient sculptors, who inscribed upon a masterpiece at Kirk Michael, “ Gaut carved this cross and all in Man,” I have suggested the following motto for the handsome cross-house at Kirk Maughold which contains as nearly as possible a third of our whole collection: — “These Crosses and all in Man have been collected and RE-ERECTED BY THE MANX PEOPLE.” Claghbane, Ramsey, Isle of Man. 2^th December, igo6.
