273. Religious Statistics.
—Is there any work published, on which reliance may be placed, which would give me the numbers, or supposed numbers, of persons professing the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, Episcopal, and other varieties of religious worship? The number of professing members of the Greek Church is given in various works, but I have never seen any complete list of the numbers professing other religions.

274. Cross-legged Effigies.
—What is the date of the latest cross-legged effigy known, and is the person commemorated known to have been connected with the Crusades? Is there any cross-legged memorial effigy with the hands in the attitude of drawing the sword of so late a date as the fourteenth century?
Dugdale and others say that persons pledged to join a crusade were marked with the cross. How was this ceremony performed?

—Has a collection of these ever been made? (I have a "Note" on the subject, but do not send it, feeling sure I must have been anticipated.)
