Extract

I beg to inclose the drawing, made by our friend Mr. J. B. Fitz-Gerald, of a Vase of red Roman ware discovered at Chester Field, in the parish of Sandy, nine miles from Bedford, in digging a potato trench. It was found in the month of September of the present year, and is now in the collection of the British Museum.
