Rev. A tomb, decorated with the arms of Cromwell, surmounted
by a helmet, between branches of palm and laurel;
the side is inscribed, anglmí . sco . et- h ib . pkoteotob. Four
infant genii are introduced, one points to his titles, a second
holds a mirror indicating prudence, and is weeping over his
death, typified by a skull. Another represents his success by a
laurel wreath, and the unanimity of the kingdom by a bundle
of wands bound together. A fourth, in the character of Hercules,
symbolizes his power ■ by the club, and the fruit of his
labours by three apples* i.e. the three kingdoms. Ex. nat . 3 .

CHARLES II. 1649—1685.
The following badges were doubtless worn as medals or
ornaments, and were indications of affection to the monarchy,
either upon the prospect of its speedy restoration or upon its
actual re-establishment. With the exception of two, Nos. 30
and 31, all must have been executed, as the portraits and dress
show, during the E n g ’s exile or very early in his reign.
