Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectanea Antiqua, Vol. 2: Etchings and Notices of Ancient Remains; Illustrative of the Habits, Customs, and History of Past Ages The present volume opens with an account of the excavation of a Roman villa, at Hartlip, conducted by Mr. Bland, at his sole expense. It is fortunate when, under similar circumstances, pecuniary means and a liberal disposition combine to promote such researches. In a separate work* I have endeavoured to express how much we are indebted to Mr. Rolfe and a few other friends, for defraying the charges incurred in laying Open an amphitheatre at Richborough. For the same work I have also made use of novel information respecting the remains of the castrum at Lymne, acquired by sub scriptions placed at the disposal of myself and Mr. James Elliot, in consequence of an appeal, which I considered myself warranted in making, after an application to the Government for a grant of money for excavations had failed. An appendix to this volume contains a list of the subscribers and other particulars, and a separate and fuller report on the discoveries made is preparlng for publication. The sum supplied was considerable, and it may be observed, it was wholly contributed by the sympathy and good-will of private persons, unassisted by any public body founded for encouraging individuals or associations in making researches and excavations, and affording them suggestions and co-operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectanea Antiqua, Vol. 3: Etchings and Notices of Ancient Remains, Illustrative of the Habits, Customs, and History of Past Ages It is not given to the Foreign members and its gratuitous distribution has ever been on the most narrow scale; although it might have been made of great utility under a more liberal administration. Recently the back stock has been sold to a bookseller at an almost nominal price. I should not consider it would be encouraging archaeology to sell the unsubscribed stock of the Collee tanea for waste paper.' I have never professed to be able to work without co operation and support. On the contrary, these volumes are a proof that I need assistance and do not disdain to receive it. But a precarious and inadequate help, clogged with conditions and stipulations, is help only in name, and a hindrance in reality. The subscribers to the Collectanea, in generous confidence, leave me perfectly free and nu shackled my only care being an anxious wish they should feel their confidence is not improperly bestowed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectanea Antiqua, Vol. 1: Etchings and Notices of Ancient Remains, Illustrative of the Habits, Customs, and History of Past Ages Many valuable essays and communications are Often Obscure, if not rendered utterly unintelligible, from the absence of delineations of the Objects described and com mented on, and nowhere is this evil more conspicuous than in the proceedings Of societies, which are, unhappily, too Often sent to press under the direction Of parties incom petent to Judge of their merits, or to arrange the necessary illustrations. In past days, the councils Of some learned and valuable societies were not elected from their dis tinction in the various walks Of antiquarian research, and, therefore, when papers came before them, it was not likely they should always receive the requisite number of plates; while for the same reason papers Of inferior general interest were sometimes overladen with embellishment. Not nu frequently it happened that a council was composed Of members interested only in one subject, who would be tempted to undervalue the labours of their colleagues who worked in a different field. These and other reasons always give a value to works published by indi viduals, who are Of course left free to think and act for them selves. For purposes Of science it is not necessary that sketches should be elaborately prepared and artistically finished. Truth and fidelity to the Objects pourtrayed are indispensable; but these requisites may be ensured by a little care and attention; and it is better that engravings be given, even rudely, and in the slightest outline, if supplied liberally, than that they should be limited in number for the sake Of elaborate execution.
