Extract

The demolition of the law courts on the west side of Westminster Hall, and the consequent exposure of all that is left of the ancient work there, are my excuse for bringing forward now a matter which by itself would scarcely deserve to be made the subject of a communication to the Society. For I have not to tell of any great discovery, but to comment upon evidence which exists for the most part only in the shape of drawings of work now destroyed.

a It is engraved in Archaeologia, vol. xxvii. plate xii. and the only fault to be found with the engraving is that no scale is given with it, a defect which is the more inconvenient because the engraver has drawn it to no recognised scale, thinking only of fitting his plate. Three quarters of an inch more in length, for which there is room, would have made it one-sixteenth of an inch to a foot.
