But before I enter upon this, it may be proper to 
obferve, that Camden has publilhed two Roman in- 
fcriptions, impreffed likewife on peices of lead, 
which were found on the fhore, at the mouth of 
the river Merfey in Chefhire, while he was revifing 
his defcription of that country, And the account he 
gives of them is this : Dum haec recogtiovi , a fide dignis 
accept viginti mafjas plumb eas hie in ipj'o l ’tore eru- 
tas fuijfe , forma oblongiori fed quadrat a, in quarum 
Jiipericri parte in concavo haec legitur inferiptio : 
IMP. DOMIT. AVG. GER. DE 
CEANG.

He fuppofes them to have been ereded as a monu- 
ment of a vidory over the Cangi , as appears by his 
following words, which are thefe : ^uod motiumentum 
e vide at ur erebium fuiffe ob vibloriam in Cargos (3 ) . 
And this he fuppofes to have been done in the reign 
of Domitian, while Julius Agricola was propraetor 
in Britain. It is plain from the words, a fide dignis 
accepi , that Camden himfelf had not feen thole
