It will be observed, that in Wesseling's edition, *p. 483, and p. 4SG, the eight stages from Viudomi to Isea Dumnuiiiornm occur twice. These eight stages ought to be removed altogether from the first place in which they occur, as the error is owing to the inadvertence of a scribe, and the nunil)er of Roman miles must be reduced from 28G to 18G. The commentary at the foot of the pages is strictly critical, in order to show the reason wh)"^ the reading in the text has been adopted. Though many may regret the absence of a geographical commentary, the editors justly appeal to the inconvenience of Wesseling's cumbrous notes. Instead of a commentary, they have given at the en<l of their volume (p. 291), an alphabetical list of all the Iters, and (p. 297) a complete alphabetical index of all the names that occur in the book, together with their various modern equivalents. To enable the student to refer to the authorities for the latter, a list of all modern writers and works upon the geography of the Orhis Bomanus and its ancient provinces will be found very useful (Prajf. p. xxxvi.) The friends of palaeography and chartography are also indebted to the editors for a table of facsimiles of the more important MSS., and for a map drawn by Dr. Parthey, showing the principal roads over the Roman Empire. These careful corrections must essentially facilitate the use of this important Itinerary ; and we are sure that English Archaeologists will appreciate the labour and research which characterise this edition. R PAULL Saxon Antiquities, discovered by the Hon. R. Neville. The achievement of an undertaking, of more than ordinary importance to the Archaeolojrist, amono-st the results of daily growing interest in National Antiquities, has claimed, whilst this Journal is actually in the press, a brief expression of gratification. The publication of Mr. Neville's " Saxon Obsequies," the record of the most successful, perhaps, of his numerous explorations, — the display of the Spolia Opima of his autumn campaign at Little Wilbraham, in 1851, presents, in most attractive form, the most copious and authentic evidence regarding Anglo-Saxon times, hitherto presented to the Antiquary. We hope speedily to offer a more ample notice of this beautiful volume.* » Whose te.xt lias been adopted also in the lion. R. C. Neville, in a cemetery extracts in the Monumenta Hist.
