N.B. The Society for the Encouragement of Arts, <$c. considering that it would be beneficial to 

 the Commerce of the United Kingdom, to bring the British Marbles into more general use, and 

 that the most effectual method of accomplishing their object, would be, for the present, to make them 

 more generally known in the capital, have come to the following resolutions ;— L 



Resolved, — That specimens of British Marbles be exposed in the Society's Rooms at the 

 Adelphi for the inspection of the Public, under the following regulations : 



1st, That all specimens be exact to a given size, fife, eight inches high, six inches broad, one 

 iuch thick, and polished on one face. 



, 2d, That a book be kept containing the number of each specimen, and describing the situa- 

 tion of the quarry, the name of the parish where situated, the distance of the quarry from 3 

 beaten road, and the distance of that >oad from water-carriage, with the name of the donor 

 and proprietor. Any remarks on the qualities of the marbles, or on the lime produced from 

 them, will be gratefully received and preserved by the Society, as materials for future inquiries. 



Resolved, — That as the exertions of the Society can only be beneficial to the public, inas- 

 much as their views are seconded by the public, the Society request, that all persons proprietor.* 

 •f marble quarries will favour them with a specimen of the marble, worked to the exact size 

 above mentioned, with the description of the quarry as above, that the same may be entered ia
