“Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum” published at Berlin under 
the auspices of the Prussian Royal Academy of Letters.—“ His 
readings of the text. are of the utmost value, and his expositions 
generally satisfactory.” 
Mr. Wright, who laboured long to accomplish the disinterment 
of Uriconium, but only succeeded in the examination of a 
small portion, has recorded all that was brought to light in the 
process of investigation in a recent volume published in 1872 ; 
but who shall say what remains yet sealed up within that circuit 
of three miles of entrenchment which can still be traced ! 
This investigation has not been without valuable collateral 
results, Museums have been formed, and many who disregarded

estates, or in their neighbourhood, have been led to preserve 
them, and to encourage others to bring what they may have 
found, and rewarded their efforts and care, so that many coins, 
pigs of lead, and portions of bronze utensils which formerly found 
their way into the melting pot, or were idly cast aside, are now 
preserved and collected together in Museums. These are full of 
interest and instruction, and at first we do not always know their 
value ; of this I will give a good example. 
In this city (Bath) many fragments of Sculpture, large blocks of 
cut stone, altars and portions of inscriptions have been found. 
For years they were treated with indifference, but happily a place 
was found wherein they were deposited. Many were drawn and 
engraved through the spirit and good judgment of the two Lysons, 
yet we have reason to believe that other portions were neglected, 
and some that were found and recorded have been lost; but out

portions now not forthcoming, a member of our Club, who 
from his modesty and diffidence is seldom seen at these our 
annual gatherings, has been able to reconstruct the portico and 
pediment of one of the ancient temples that in Roman times
