XVI. Notices of Fonts in Scotland. By Robert Riddell, Esq. F.A.S. In a Letter to Mr. Gough
View through CrossRef
Allow me, in return for the great pleasure your excellent account of English fonts in the tenth volume of the Archæologia afforded me, to present you with drawings of some Scottish fonts, in my small collection of antiquities at Friers Carse. If you think them worthy the attention of the Society of Antiquaries, they are at your disposal as you see proper. At the time of the Reformation in Scotland the mob demolished their sacred basons, by breaking and mutilating them, with a barbarous and bigoted zeal, so that few of them now are to be met with, and those much defaced. I have collected specimens of all the varieties I have seen; octangular, circular, square, oblong, and four-sided ones. The first is Morion font.
