Since you was pleased to inform me, that the views of the Society of Antiquaries are not confined merely to English Antiquities, but wish to extend themselves also to the more entertaining, as well as edifying, subjects of Roman Antiquities in general; I avail myself of the present opportunity to communicate to you some acquisitions of that kind, which I made, not long since, from the provinces of Istria and Dalmatia. They were communicated to me by the Abbé Fortis, of Padua, an ingenious and celebrated Italian Naturalist, whom I recommended, some time ago, to make the tour of those provinces with a learned friend of mine, and who, in return, very obligingly favoured me with an account of his itinerary, in a series of entertaining and instructive letters, which are now before me. His favourite pursuit was Natural History; but he did not intirely neglect Antiquities. I shall therefore briefly extract from his letters such observations of that kind as appear to me mostly to merit attention. These respect principally some antient Roman inscriptions, which occasionally fell in his way, and which I do not find in other writers, at least among the more classical collectors, as Gruter, Fabretti, Muratori, &c. To these I shall add such pertinent remarks as occur to me upon the subjects of these inscriptions.
