Excerpt from Catalogue of the Manks Crosses With the Runic Inscriptions: And Various Readings and Renderings Compared
References are made to the illustrations in Cumming's Runic Remains, which unfortunately, however, are often inaccurate; very few others have been published, and they are not generally accessible. The descriptions are pretty full - the Author trusts also clear - his object being not only to allow the crosses to be identified, but to help the reader to classify them by the ornamentation, and to enable those who have not seen the Crosses to form some idea of their beauty, character, and general appearance.
