Excerpt from Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, Vol. 2 The Council of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society are sorry to have to employ the same expression of regret, on the publication of this the Second Volume of their Transactions, as they did on the occasion of that of the First. The small subscription and the necessarily expensive character of the Public Meetings of the Society alike hinder that more frequent issue which would otherwise be practicable. They desire to add that it lies in the power of the members themselves to rectify the evil of which they complain. The Council have every reason to be satisfied with the reception accorded by Archaeologists to the former volume, and confidently anticipate a similar amount of favour for that now offered to the reader. As in the previous pages, the range of subjects in those which follow embraces the majority of the departments most interesting to a London and Middlesex Archæologist. Saxon Antiquities, Mediæval Architecture, Manuscripts, Parochial and Monastic History, Biography, Heraldry, Numismatics, &c., will be found included in the list.
