Extract

The Society of Antiquaries have honoured a communication of mine, respecting the tomb of Alfred, in a manner far beyond its deserts. This, however, encourages me to venture to offer to them, through your friendly hands, some details relative to the two celebrated Runic monuments in this county, the Font at Bridekirk, and the Obelisk at Bewcastle.
