of its streets, the arrangement of its public buildings, and 
the domestic convenience of its houses; not to mention the 
remnants of industry and art, as well as coins and military 
ensigns, which have been brought to light. The generosity 
of a noble Duke, whose family name is revered by every 
Englishman, has enabled Mr. Joyce to do at Silchester what 
might have been done at Wroxeter had the same spirit prevailed 
in the county of Salop, with the same perseverance and industry ! 
The Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-on-Tyne have during 
the present year put forth the last number of the “ Lapidarium 
Septentrionale,” a work of much value to the student of Britanno- 
Roman antiquities. We owe this work to the energy of Dr. 
Bruce who for many years past has given his attention to the 
Roman remains in the north of England, and has very diligently

has put forth an excellent work on Britanno-Roman Inscriptions 
as well as aided Dr. Bruce in the preparation of the “Lapida- 
rium” of the Roman wall; while in Germany Professor Hiibner 
has published the “ Inscriptiones Britannize Latine,” forming part 
of a larger collection, and the Roman coins struck in Britain have

In a review of Professor Hiibner’s work in the Canadian 
Journal the learned writer states that “‘ we have in that volume 
for the first time collected all Latin inscriptions found in Britain 
on all the varieties of material on which they are cut, or stamped,
