_Runes._--Worsäae (_Primeval Antiquities of Denmark_, 1849) mentions
that inscriptions are found in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, written in
different languages in _Runic character_. He also mentions the fact of
a Pagan Runic inscription occurring at Jellinge, Denmark, on the tomb
of old King Gorm, A.D. c. 900, found in a huge barrow; and, at the
same place, a Christian Runic inscription on the tomb of his son
Harold. Has this inquiry been extended to British Runes, and might
it not throw much light upon many monuments of dates prior to the
Conquest? Crossed slabs with Runes have been found at Hartlepool,
Durham; have the inscriptions been read? (Boutell's _Christian
Monuments_, p. 3.; Cutt's _Manual of Sepulchral Slabs_, pp. 52. 60.
