VICTORIA STATUE, LANCASTER. The sug- gestion by COM. EBOR. (10 S. ix. 284) that MR. PAGE'S labours on statues or memorials should be made to include the whole of -Great Britain and Ireland is very good, .and in this direction I subjoin an abstract of the description I recently prepared, for a some statue of Queen Victoria just given by Lord Ashton to Lancaster. It is un- doubtedly the finest in the provinces. It stands in Dalton Square, facing the new Town Hall, also the gift of Lord Ashton to his native town.
 * small guide to our town, of the very hand-

The statue and pedestal are 36 ft. 7 in. high. The bronze figure of the Queen, which stands on a Furness limestone base, is 12 ft. high. Underneath are four bronze lions. The panels contain more than life-size figures of Victorian celebrities. The corner figures represent Truth, Freedom, Justice, and Wisdom. On the sides are the arms of Lord Ashton and the borough.

The statue is the masterpiece so far of Mr. Herbert Hampton. He is a man of great promise, and has exhibited in the Royal Academy and elsewhere.
