Though I am aware that a leaden Plate, found in 1786 at Bruges, in the place of sepulture of Gunilda, sister to the last of our Saxon Kings, has already been under the consideration of yourself and of Mr. Petrie, I am nevertheless induced, having lately had the advantage of inspecting this interesting relic of the eleventh century, to offer to the Society, through your obliging medium, a Fac-simile of the Inscription thereon, taken from the Plate itself; together with the result of my enquiries respecting the circumstances which attended the discovery; and some particulars concerning another British Princess, of the same name and age, whose remains are asserted to have been deposited, at an antecedent period, near the identical spot which those of the daughter of Earl Godwin appear to have occupied.
