_Inscription near Cirencester._--In Earl Bathurst's park, near Cirencester,

stands a building--the resort in the summer months of occasional pic-nic

parties. During one of these visits, at which I {77} was present, I copied

an inscription, painted in old characters on a board, and nailed to one of

the walls, and as the whole thing had not the appearance of belonging to

modern times, and, as far as I could decipher it, it referred to some

agreement between Alfred and some of his neighbouring brother kings,

concerning boundaries of territory, I send it to you for insertion.
