The Central Committee of the Institute have considered a Resolution,
passed at a recent meeting of the British ArchÊological Association at
Manchester, August 24th, in reference to the expediency of promoting a
union between the Association and the Institute. The Committee desire to
give this public notice, that they are ready, as they have always been,
to admit members of the Association desirous of joining the Institute.
They have determined accordingly, that, in order to offer reasonable
encouragement to the members of the Association, they shall henceforth
be eligible without the payment of the customary entrance fee, on the
intimation of their wish to the Committee to be proposed for election.
Life-members of the Association shall be eligible as life-members on
payment of half the usual composition. All members of the Association
thus elected shall likewise have the privilege of acquiring the previous
publications of the Institute at the price to original subscribers.

Just Published, Octavo Edition, plain, 15s.; Quarto Edition, having the
Plates of the Tesselated Pavements all coloured, 1l. 5s.
REMAINS of ROMAN ART in Cirencester, the Site of Ancient Corinium:
containing Plates by De la Motte, of the magnificent Tesselated
Pavements discovered in August and September, 1849, with copies of the
grand Heads of Ceres, Flora, and Pomona; reduced by the Talbotype from
facsimile tracings of the original; together with various other plates
and numerous wood engravings.
In the Quarto edition the folding of the plates necessary for the
smaller volume is avoided.
"The recent discoveries made at Cirencester have been the means of
enlisting in the cause of archÊlogy two intelligent and energetic
associates, to whose exertions we are mainly indebted for the
preservation of the interesting remains brought to light, and our
obligations are increased by the able manner in which they have
described and illustrated them in the volume now under notice.
"These heads" (Ceres, Flora, and Pomona) are of a high order of art, and
Mr. De la Motte, by means of the Talbotype, has so successfully reduced
them that the engravings are perfect facsimiles of the originals. They
are, perhaps, the best of the kind, every tessella apparently being
represented.
"Our authors have very advantageously brought to their task a knowledge
of geology and chemistry, and the important aid which an application of
these sciences confers on archÊology is strikingly shown in the chapter
on the materials of the tesselle, which also includes a valuable report
by Dr. VOELCKER, on an analysis of ruby glass, which formed part of the
composition of one of the Cirencester pavements. This portion of the
volume is too elaborate and circumstantial for any justice to be done to
it in an extract."--_Gentleman's Mag., Sept._
