[101] Turner's Tour in Normandy, I. p. 139.—The mention of this sculpture affords an opportunity of pointing out what appears a singular error on the part of the late M. Millin, in his Voyage dans les Départemens du Midi de la France. He has figured, in the atlas to that work, plate twelve, a bas-relief of the eleventh century, representing the assassination of Count Dalmace, by the hands of his son-in-law, Robert I. Duke of Burgundy; and, in the lower compartment, containing a banquet, he explains one of the figures (I. p. 190) to be the Earl falling from the table; whereas, a comparison with the sculpture at Rouen will scarcely leave a doubt, that it was designed for a dancing-girl, introduced for the amusement of the company.
