Luck of Edenhall, and Tarn  
Wadling 
   
Dec. 12. 
  
Mr. URBAN, 
  
YOUR correspondent Antiquarius, P.995, asks, whether, "from  
the letters with which the (case of the) Luck of  
Edenhall is charged," it may not "be conjectured that it 
was originally designed for a sacramental chalice?"  
This, you may tell him, the canons of the church, which he  
will find in Lyndewode's Provinciale, render  
impossible. But I have no objection to think that it  
has been used as a drinking-glass by the superior of some  
religious house. My inability to procure drawings of this  
hall and glass (both which I have seen) alone  
prevents me from giving a new and handsome edition, with  
curious notes, of the doleful drinking bout, which, I 
have good authority to say, was not written by the  
Duke of Wharton.
