 "13")5 '■'■barbar:'" Lence, "one who is separated^' 

 " a foreigner." And even though Clel.Voc. 126., n., 

 admits that ^mt-m*, "clean," '■'■separated from dross," 

 originally signifies cleansing by fire, irCp, yet both 

 it and far-farris, " bread-corn," i. e. separated

 separated from the flour, may find their origin pos- 

 sibly from the same source. li. S. T. 



Royal and distinguished Disinterments. — It is 

 suggested that a volume of rteep and general in- 

 terest might be very easily formed by collecting 

 and arranging the various notices that have from 

 time to time appeared, of the disinterment of royal 

 and distinguished personages. This hint seems 

 deserving of the attention of Messrs. Nichols.

The great interest excited by the further discovery 

 in August last, of tesselated pavements at Cirencester 

 induced Professor Buckman and Mr. Newmarch at 

 once to issue proposals for a work, descriptive not only 

 of those beautiful specimens of Roman art, but also of 

 all such other of the numerous remains found in the 

 same locality as they could satisfactorily identify. 

 The result was, such a well-filled Subscription List, 

 and such ready co-operation on the part of those who 

 had collected and preserved such objects, as have enabled 

 these Gentlemen to produce, under the tide of Illus- 

 trations of t/ie Bemains of Roman Art in Cirencester, the 

 Site of Ancient Corinium, a work which will not only 

 gratify the antiquary by its details, and the beauty and 

 fidelity of its engravings, but enable the general reader, 

 without any great exercise of imagination, to picture 

 to himself the social condition of Corinium when gar- 

 risoned by Roman cohorts, 



" 'Ere the wide arch of the ranged Empire fell." 

 To the grandeur of form, dignity of character, and 

 great breadth of treatment exhibited in these Pave- 

 ments, — I\Ir.Westmacott,tl)e Royal Academician, bears 

 his testimony ; and the fidelity with which they have 

 been copied in the valuable work bel'ore us reflects the 

 highest cxedit upon ail parties engaged in its produc- 

 tion.
