Extract

On May 18, 1865, I had the pleasure of reading to this Society a paper upon certain excavations which have been carried on at Silchester by His Grace the Duke of Wellington. Since that date the area uncovered has been considerably extended, and the excavations have attracted a very general interest among those who are skilled in English archæology. In addressing you at present, I only resume the thread of a statement already commenced, and, in order to clear the ground for the information I propose now to bring under your notice, I shall go back to a few leading particulars which were then stated.

Owing partly to bad health and his lamented death on June 28, 1878, this intention remained unfulfilled. The Society is indebted to his widow, the Hon. Mrs. Joyce, for preparing them for the press, together with the illustrations in the accompanying plates.
