_Treasure Trove._--The prejudicial effect which the law of _Treasure
Trove_, as it now exists in this country, has been found to exercise
upon the preservation of objects of archaeological interest, especially
if such articles happen to be formed of either of the precious metals,
is just now exciting the attention of the antiquarian world. Any notes
upon the state of this law upon the Continent, any references to
instances of valuable "finds" which have been lost to archaeological
investigation through the operation of this law, or to cases in which
the decisions of the courts have been given upon questions of this law;
in short, any hints {167} or information upon any points connected with
the subject of _Treasure Trove_ will be thankfully received by,
