Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 38: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; January December, 1902 At a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, held at Burlington House on November 28, the proposed action of the Government in connection with the Celtic gold ornaments acquired in 1897 by the British Museum was considered, and the following resolution was passed: "That the Society of Antiquaries of London, which takes a keen interest in all matters connected with the archaeology of these islands, views with marked dissatisfaction the proposal to remove from the British Museum certain gold ornaments lately acquired from Ireland. The Society is of opinion that the cause of archaeology will be best served by the retention of those interesting objects in the central museum of the Empire, where they are accessible to a greater number of students than would be the case elsewhere; while, as remains of the art of the ancient Britons, and having only an accidental connection with Ireland, these relics could be placed nowhere more appropriately than in the British Museum. That this resolution be communicated to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, and be humbly laid before his Majesty the King, the august patron of the Society." Prince Orsini, who is the owner of the beautiful Lake Nemi, near Rome, has facilitated in every possible way the efforts of the Italian Government to raise the two galleys of Caligula, which were sunk a.d. 41 off the shores of this lovely sheet of water. Sufficient has been recovered at present to disclose the astounding fact that the vessels in question measure respectively 225 feet and 237 feet in length by 60 feet and 75 feet in width. Their decks were evidently covered with splendid mosaics, and already an immense number of magnificent bronze objects, among them a beautiful head of Medusa, are to be seen at the Prince's villa, where eventually a museum is to be organized of objects in connection with the sunken galleys. A correspondent of the Times says: "It will be remembered that the revelation of a great palace on the site of Phaestus, in the south of Crete, by the Italian archaeologists Halthew and Pernier last spring, almost rivalled in interest Mr. Evans's discoveries at Knossos. News now comes that, since the departure of the Italians for the autumn, peasants have lighted on a series of rock tombs in the neighbourhood of the palace, evidently belonging to some generation of its lords. These tombs, which are both of the dome and chamber types, contained several skeletons apiece, richly adorned with gold objects, such as necklaces and rings, in which are set engraved gems, representing cult-scenes, demons, and other typical Mycenaean subjects. The discovery is of exceptional interest, since no tombs have hitherto been found pertaining to the great Cretan palaces, and it is only in tombs that the richer objects of the luxurious prehistoric civilization of the island are likely to be found." A protest against the recent erection of a barbed-wire fence round Stonehenge, and the resulting interference with the ways which have hitherto given the public free access to the monument, has been addressed to the Wiltshire County Council, signed by representatives of the Commons and Footpaths Preservation Society, the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, and the Kyrle Society, and by Professors Flinders Petrie, Sir W. Martin Conway, Percy Gardner, and Ernest Arthur Gardner. The Wiltshire Council considered the protest, but decided that the preservation of Stonehenge was a national rather than a local concern, and so determined to take no action.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 45: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; January-December, 1909 There is a popular impression that the existence of a yeomanry is a peculiarity of English tenures, an impression which is quite mistaken. On the contrary, we find a class corresponding very closely to our English yeomen in pre-revolutionary France, where some of the landowners bearing the de were only yeomen, and also in the South, where the mas called after the owner's name is a sign of ancient possession. Nor is the proud Bauer of Southern Germany, with his family-tree and his territorial style. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 13: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; January June, 1886 The district round Westminster Hall and Westminster Hall itself are rich in the grandest historical associations; and in con nection with this district a very great deal of pamphlet-writing has been from time to time performed, which gives us a view of the less dignified portion of the doings at West minster. Of crowns and coronets, robes of ermine and ceremonial offices, we shall hear nothing, but of a much more real life which underlay all this. The lawyers, rightly or wrongly, have been the subject of much antagonistic treatment, and in the satires and invectives hurled against them, or in the de fences put forward in their behalf, we can discover many interesting glimpses of the past in London. It is not, Of course, proper to take all the narratives from these sources as absolutely true in all details, but under neath the extravagances lies the truth upon which the superstructure of satire has been reared; and it is for this truth, and for the amusement afforded by a perusal Of the whole information, that these articles, of which this is the first, are written.
