The New Cambridge History of the Bible
Authors: Marsden Richard , Matter E. Ann
Published: June 2012

This volume examines the development and use of the Bible from late Antiquity to the Reformation, tracing both its geographical and its intellectual journeys from its homelands throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and into northern Europe. Richard Marsden and Ann Matter's volume provides a balanced treatment of eastern and western biblical traditions, highlighting processes of transmission and modes of exegesis among Roman and Orthodox Christians, Jews and Muslims and illuminating the role of the Bible in medieval inter-religious dialogue. Translations into Ethiopic, Slavic, Armenian and Georgian vernaculars, as well as Romance and Germanic, are treated in detail, along with the theme of allegorized spirituality and established forms of glossing. The chapters take the study of Bible history beyond the cloisters of medieval monasteries and ecclesiastical schools to consider the influence of biblical texts on vernacular poetry, prose, drama, law and the visual arts of East and West.
Control of food intake by metabolism of fuels: a comparison across species
Authors: Allen Michael S. , Bradford Barry J.
Published: June 2012

Research with laboratory species suggests that meals can be terminated by peripheral signals carried to brain feeding centres via hepatic vagal afferents, and that these signals are affected by oxidation of fuels. Pre-gastric fermentation in ruminants greatly alters fuels, allowing mechanisms conserved across species to be studied with different types and temporal absorption of fuels. These fuels include SCFA, glucose, lactate, amino acids and long-chain fatty acid (FA) isomers, all of which are absorbed and metabolised by different tissues at different rates. Propionate is produced by rumen microbes, absorbed within the timeframe of meals, and quickly cleared by the liver. Its hypophagic effects are variable, likely due to its fate; propionate is utilised for gluconeogenesis or oxidised and also stimulates oxidation of acetyl-CoA by anapleurosis. In contrast, acetate has little effect on food intake, likely because its uptake by the ruminant liver is negligible. Glucose is hypophagic in non-ruminants but not ruminants and unlike non-ruminant species, uptake of glucose by ruminant liver is negligible, consistent with the differences in hypophagic effects between them. Inhibition of FA oxidation increases food intake, whereas promotion of FA oxidation suppresses food intake. Hypophagic effects of fuel oxidation also vary with changes in metabolic state. The objective of this paper is to compare the type and utilisation of fuels and their effects on feeding across species. We believe that the hepatic oxidation theory allows insight into mechanisms controlling feeding behaviour that can be used to formulate diets to optimise energy balance in multiple species.
Speed of facial affect intensity recognition as an endophenotype of first-episode psychosis and associated limbic-cortical grey matter systems
Authors: Dean A. M. , Goodby E. , Ooi C. , Nathan P. J. , Lennox B. R. , Scoriels L. , Shabbir S. , Suckling J. , Jones P. B. , Bullmore E. T. , Barnes A.

Background

Psychotic disorders are highly heritable such that the unaffected relatives of patients may manifest characteristics, or endophenotypes, that are more closely related to risk genes than the overt clinical condition. Facial affect processing is dependent on a distributed cortico-limbic network that is disrupted in psychosis. This study assessed facial affect processing and related brain structure as a candidate endophenotype of first-episode psychosis (FEP).

Method

Three samples comprising 30 FEP patients, 30 of their first-degree relatives and 31 unrelated healthy controls underwent assessment of facial affect processing and structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data. Multivariate analysis (partial least squares, PLS) was used to identify a grey matter (GM) system in which anatomical variation was associated with variation in facial affect processing speed.

Results

The groups did not differ in their accuracy of facial affect intensity rating but differed significantly in speed of response, with controls responding faster than relatives, who responded faster than patients. Within the control group, variation in speed of affect processing was significantly associated with variation of GM density in amygdala, lateral temporal cortex, frontal cortex and cerebellum. However, this association between cortico-limbic GM density and speed of facial affect processing was absent in patients and their relatives.

Conclusions

Speed of facial affect processing presents as a candidate endophenotype of FEP. The normal association between speed of facial affect processing and cortico-limbic GM variation was disrupted in FEP patients and their relatives.
V.—Observations on the History and Progress of the Art of Watchmaking, from the earliest Period to modern Times: in a Letter from Octavius Morgan, Esq., M.P., F.S.A., to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., Secretary
Authors: Morgan Octavius
Published: June 2012

On Thursday evening last I took the liberty of laying on the table of the Society, for exhibition, a few ancient Watches which I had collected, and I availed myself of that opportunity of doing so, because, on the same evening, the valuable paper by our excellent Director, on the curious ancient Bohemian clock in the Society's collection, was to be read, to which I thought the subject of Watches might well form a sequel, and at the same time bring a new matter under the Society's consideration. I also undertook to throw together a few Observations on them in the shape of a paper, which I now take the liberty of sending you, and in which I hope to be able, in some degree, to exhibit the progress of the art of watchmaking from the earliest period to modern times. I can scarcely expect to communicate to the Society any knowledge of which its members are not already in possession; but I rather hope to elicit from those of our Fellows who are more learned in these matters that information which I should desire to obtain, and which they are always so kindly ready to impart. Besides this, I also hope to direct some attention to a subject hitherto but little heeded.
XII.—An Account of various Objects of Antiquity, found near Amiens, in France, in the Spring of 1848. In a Letter from Lord Albert Conyngham to John Yonge Akerman, Esq., Secretary
Authors: Conyngham Albert
Published: June 2012

I forward herewith ten objects of antiquity, found some time since in France. They were discovered by labourers employed on the railroad near the town of Amiens, at a spot where other objects of the Gallo-Roman period were met with. The men came to a leaden coffin of great thickness, which contained two skeletons. By the side of the smaller skeleton, supposed to be that of a female, were the articles numbered one to seven. The three remaining articles; namely, the large bronze pin, the bronze fibula, and the bronze ring, were discovered, it is said, by the side of the larger skeleton.
V.—The Seal of Chaucer: Copy of the Deed to which it is appended: Copy of a public Instrument notifying to him his removal from his Office of Clerk of the King's Works.—In a Letter to Sir Henry Ellis from Joseph Hunter, a Fellow of the Society
Authors: Hunter Joseph
Published: June 2012

I beg to have the honour of laying before the President and Members of the Society of Antiquaries what I cannot but deem a very interesting relic, an Impression from the Seal of Geoffrey Chaucer, perhaps the only impression which has descended to our times. I am sorry, however, that it is only a drawing from the original which is now produced; but the original itself will be shewn to any member of the Society who feels an interest about it.
VII.—Extracts from the Churchwardens' Accounts of the Parish of Eltham in Kent: with Notes and Illustrations, by G. R. Corner, Esq., F.S.A., in a Letter to John Yonge Akerman, Esq., Secretary
Authors: Corner G. R.
Published: June 2012

I do not know if the Society of Antiquaries will think that extracts from churchwardens' accounts of the reigns of the Tudor queens are so plentiful that no addition to the present collection is required, or can afford any new information; but I venture to send you, for the Society, some extracts from the Accounts of the Churchwardens of Eltham, in Kent, which I think will be found to possess more than ordinary interest from the circumstance of Eltham being the site of one of the ancient royal palaces, and of frequent reference being made to royal visits, and other events of a public nature, as well as to some men of note, between the commencement of the reign of Queen Mary and the accession of King James the First.
VI. Remarks on the Manner of the Death of King Richard the Second. By P.W. Dillon, Esq. of Paris; In two Letters addressed to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., Secretary
Authors: Dillon P.W.
Published: June 2012

I have read with a deep interest the able Dissertations of two of your learned colleagues, Messrs. Webb and Amyot, on that oft controverted point of English history the death of Richard the Second. Both reject the popular account of his murder, by Sir Piers Exton and accomplices, as comparatively unfounded; and maintain, with Thomas of Otterbourn, Hardyng, and, it must be confessed, nearly all the contemporary chroniclers, that he died of starvation.
XII. On Anglo-Saxon Runes. By John M. Kemble, Esq.
Authors: Kemble John M.
Published: June 2012

The particular object of the following remarks are the Runes of the Anglo-Saxons, whether as to their use in inscriptions, or the manner in which they are introduced into manuscripts. I shall therefore have but little to say of the Scandinavian or old Norse characters of the same description, unless by way of illustrating the indigenous alphabet: and indeed these require less attention from us, inasmuch as they have been profoundly and successfully studied by those who had the most right to take an interest in them, the antiquaries of Scandinavia and Iceland.
XXI.—On some Ancient Modes of Trial, especially those in which Appeal was made to the Divine Judgment through the Ordeals of Water, Fire, and other Judicia Dei. By William Sidney Gibson, Esq. F.S.A., Barrister-at-Law
Authors: Gibson William Sidney
Published: June 2012

It will be readily admitted that few objects of archæological research are better deserving of our attention than those which illustrate the jurisprudential system of our ancestors, and the history of our venerable laws.

A most extraordinary feature of the judicial code of ancient times was the practice of the Ordeal Trials, in which the solemnities of religion were united with the administration of secular justice, and a mode of divination resorted to for the discovery of hidden truth; and since those modes of trial were for many ages a part of English law and usage in the trial of criminal causes, though now (perhaps happily) they are matter of history alone, the author proposes in the present discourse to put together as concisely as he can the information and examples he has collected in elucidation of the origin and practice of the Ordeal Trials, and to invite references to any judicial records which may further illustrate the subject.
XXII.—On the Existence of Municipal Privileges under the Anglo-Saxons. By Thomas Wright, Esq. F.S.A., &c.
Authors: Wright Thomas
Published: June 2012

In the general confusion of the Middle Ages, one class of the people, the burghers or inhabitants of cities and fortified towns, alone succeeded in preserving something approaching to real independence. This independence was not, as it has become a sort of maxim in law to believe, a boon granted from the Crown by the Norman monarchs, but it was a right arising out of uninterrupted possession from a period of remote antiquity. It is by a comparison with what happened on the continent of Europe that we can best understand the manner in which such independence was preserved in our own island. An eminent French antiquary, M. Raynouard, has clearly proved that the Roman municipia (or civic corporations) in Gaul survived the invasions of tlie Barbarians, and he has traced them through various modifications in name and form, though they remained the same in spirit, under the different races of the Frankish monarchs. The more extensive researches which have since been made, under the directions of MM. Guizot and Augustin Thierry, fully confirm the opinions of Raynouard on this subject. There can be little doubt that this was equally the case in Britain, where the circumstances were precisely the same. When the Barbarians began to settle in the Roman provinces, the fortified towns, often obstinately defended, opposed the greatest difficulty to the invaders.
XXI.—An account of the Opening of some Tumuli in the East Riding of Yorkshire. By the Right Hon. the Lord Londesborough, F.S.A.

I send you an account of the opening of some Tumuli, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, under my directions, in the autumn of the present Year, and will thank you to lay the same before the Society of Antiquaries at some early meeting. I am happy in this opportunity of adding to the information which the Society has already acquired on the subject of the primaeval remains of our native land;
XII. Observations on Roman Remains recently found in London: in a Letter from Charles Roach Smith, Esq. F.S.A. to John Gage Rokewode, Esq. F.R.S. Director
Authors: Smith Charles Roach
Published: June 2012

After the lapse of some few years, I resume the subject of discoveries of Roman remains in London. Since the spring of 1836 (when I first had the honour of submitting the result of my exertions to the notice of the Society) there has been little or no intermission to excavations carried on throughout the City for what is termed “City Improvements,” and for sewerage, all of which have been more or less productive in furnishing means for throwing light on the state of London and its inhabitants in a remote and interesting period of their history.
XVIII. Remarks upon some remains of ancient Architecture, disclosed in taking down a portion of the Church of St. Mary Overy, in Southwark. By John Buckler, Esq., F.S.A.; in a Letter to John Gage Rokewode, Esq. Director
Authors: Buckler John
Published: June 2012

I beg to submit to the Society of Antiquaries a sketch of the interior of the west end of the Nave and South Aisle of Saint Mary Overy's Church, Southwark (Plate XXIX.), in compliance with the request which you made in the early part of last year. I will trouble you with only a few remarks upon this ancient and elegant specimen of architecture. It was disclosed to view upon the removal of the masonry by which it had been concealed in the latter part of the fifteenth century, at which period the west doorway and window were inserted. The arches alluded to in a double tier at the west end of the nave, the clustered pillars attached to the same wall, the arches under the windows in the side aisles, the windows themselves in the westernmost compartment of both aisles, and the south porch, are all of the same age. The architectural features in these portions of the church are distinguished from the rest by the general design of the capitals, and the detail of the sculptured ornaments, both of which present a near resemblance to the forms characteristic of late Norman architecture, and may fairly be assigned to the reign of King John. It was owing to an unaccountable deviation from parallel lines in the position of the newer pillars in the nave, that the groined vault in the western portion of the aisles was constructed in the irregular manner shewn in the drawing. The bases of all the columns were nearly concealed by the pavement. It was observed, upon their being opened, that they had been carefully restored in cement; but the period of this restoration, and of that when the floor was raised, are unknown.
XXI. Particulars relative to that Portion of the Regalia of England which was made for the Coronation of King Charles the Second. Communicated by Robert Cole, Esq. in a Letter to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., Secretary
Authors: Cole Robert
Published: June 2012

The interest occasioned by the removal of the Regalia from the Jewel House to a place of greater safety, during the late fire at the Tower, will, I trust, be a sufficient excuse for the liberty I take in requesting the favour of your communicating to the Society of Antiquaries the following particulars relative to that portion of the Regalia which was made for the Coronation of Charles the Second.
XXVI.—On the Early History of Lord Lieutenants of Counties. In a Letter to the Viscount Mahon, President, from Sir Henry Ellis, K.H. Director
Authors: Ellis Henry
Published: June 2012

I Beg to lay before your Lordship and our Society a few short Remarks upon the early history of Lord Lieutenants of Counties, introductory to two sets of Instructions granted to the same nobleman, first in the reign of King Philip and Queen Mary, and, secondly, by Queen Elizabeth, showing a gradual and sensible improvement in the details of the lieutenancies, as carried out by the latter queen.
XVI.—Description of a Fictile Vase from Vulci, the allegory of which is supposed to be intended to commemorate the fate of the Family of Agamemnon. By Samuel Birch, Esq. F.S.A., Assistant Keeper of the Antiquities in the British Museum
Authors: Birch Samuel
Published: June 2012

The Cylix, which I propose an explanation of in the present Memoir was found at Vulci, (see Plate VIII.) and formed part of the hundred select vases of the Princess of Canino. I also, as particularly illustrative of the same myths, accompany it with tracings of two other Vases from the same source. They all are portions of the great original discoveries of Hellenic fictile art at Vulci.
I. Remarks on certain Ornaments of Gold found near Quentin, in Britany, in 1832; presumed to have been the μανιάκαι of the Ancient Gauls: In a Letter from the Rev. John Bathurst Deane, M.A. F.S.A. to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H. F.R.S., Secretary
Authors: Deane John Bathurst
Published: June 2012

In the Commune of Vieuxbourg near Quentin, in Britany, is a dilapidated Temple of the Celtic religion, which, among the multitude of such sanctuaries scattered over that ancient and interesting country, might have attracted little notice, but for a discovery within its precincts, which may rescue it from oblivion, if not from destruction.
II. On the Number of the Lost Books of Tacitus. By the Lord Mahon
Authors: Mahon
Published: June 2012

The historical works of Tacitus which remain to us are, as is well known, besides the Life of Agricola, the four first books of the Annals, part of the fifth, the sixth, the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and part of the sixteenth, the four first books of the History, and part of the fifth. It is asserted by Brotier, in his excellent edition, that the total number of books must have been sixteen of Annals and fourteen of History, and this assertion has never yet, so far as I know, been doubted or called in question. I think, however, that there are strong grounds for presuming that the real number of books was eighteen of Annals and twelve of History; and, though the point be of small importance, it may perhaps not be without some interest to the admirers of the greatest of Historians.
VII. Observations on the Roman Station of Magiovintum; by Henry Brandreth, Esq. F.S.A. in a Letter to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H. F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Brandreth Henry
Published: June 2012

Having, at various times, amused myself with tracing the Roman roads Watling street and Ikening street, more especially as connected with the station Magiovintum, perhaps the result of some of my personal observations relative thereto, may add something, however little, to the stock of antiquarian knowledge in reference to Britannia Romana. The roads, to which I have alluded, are too well known to warrant my offering any lengthened remarks. They are considered to have been British trackways many centuries before the island was traversed by Roman roads, and that while the latter run from Venta Icenorum, Caister near Norwich, to Durnovaria, Dorchester in Dorsetshire; the former, commencing at Rutupium, Richborough in Kent, proceeded north-west to Mona, Anglesea, in North Wales. Both these roads had many vicinal branches, of which I will only name four of the Ikening. One seems to have branched off westward to Venta Silurum, Caerwent, in South Wales; another southward to Venta Belgarum, Winchester; a third, I suspect, run along to Camulodunum, Maldon, in Essex; whilst another took a northerly direction to Durobrivae, now Dorenford or Dornford, in Huntingdonshire.
VIII. Remarks on the Commencement of the Reign of King Richard the First, by William Hardy, Esq.; Communicated in a Letter from the Rt. Hon. Lord Holland, F.R.S. & S.A., to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H. F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Hardy William
Published: June 2012

The enclosed Communication was sent to me as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, by Mr. William Hardy, an ingenious and diligent young man, who is one of the clerks in that establishment. As it ascertains a fact (hitherto, I believe, unknown), namely, that the regnal years of Richard the First were calculated, not from his father's death, but from his own coronation, and that before the latter event he had the title of Dominus Angliæ, not Rex Anglorum; I think it worth the notice of the Society of Antiquaries, and in the absence of Lord Aberdeen send it to you, with a request, that at your convenience you will communicate it to that Society.
XII. Observations on the Roman Remains found in various parts of London, in the years 1834, 1835, 1836. By Mr. Charles Roach Smith, communicated in a letter to A. J. Kempe, Esq., F.S.A.
Authors: Smith Charles Roach
Published: June 2012

At the close of the year 1834, my attention was drawn to the excavations then in progress for sewers, and foundations of houses, in the extensive City improvements, from conviction, founded on former observations, but which opportunity did not then admit my taking advantage of, that the projected line of work at depths varying from twenty to fifty feet, could not fail to afford the means for obtaining some additional and corroborating information illustrative of the ancient occupation of the soil; and, finding that investigation was likley to be attended with some little success, I persevered in examining with all possible diligence the several excavations, and now submit to your notice, though necessarily in an abridged shape, an account of the result of my labours. I shall venture no further on your patience than will be consistent with recording the principal features in the City discoveries, without theorising or wandering from a statement of facts.
XIII. Account of a Bilingual Inscription taken from a Vase at St. Mark, at Venice, by T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., F.R.S., F.S.A. Communicated to the Society of Antiquaries by the Council of the British Archæological Association

I Have great gratification in laying before the British Archæological Association the rubbing of an inscription, taken by Sir J. Gardner Wilkinson, from a Vase deposited in the Treasury of St. Mark, at Venice, which, at his request, I communicate on the present occasion.
XVI. Letter upon some early Remains discovered in Yorkshire, by J. M. N. Colls, Esq. in a Letter to Edward Hailstone, Esq. F.S.A. of Bradford. Communicated to the Society of Antiquaries by the Committee of the Archæological Association
Authors: Colls J.M.N.
Published: June 2012

The range of hills lying north by west of Bradford, separating the valleys of the rivers Wharfe and Aire, form an extremely interesting field of research. Plans and sketches have been made so as to include a sufficient extent of its more interesting features, and to point out the traces of the Brigantian tribes who once inhabited its wastes. Although these traces agree in their general character with the British earth-works already so carefully examined in the southern counties, yet they have some local peculiarities in their form, structure, and appearances, which render them worthy of attention. To thoroughly investigate them, in order to gain some little additional light (however trifling) upon the history of the brave races who, in these their mountain passes, so long resisted the disciplined troops of the Roman empire, would require much more time and patient attention than my duties during my visit to your neighbourhood allowed me to devote to them. I can therefore merely offer you a cursory view of their nature and character, in the hope that a more able mind may be led to bestow upon them that attention which the interest attached to them appears to me to merit.
XXII. Description of a Roman Villa discovered at Acton Scott, near Church Stretton, in Shropshire, in 1817; with an account of further researches made in July, 1844: communicated in a Letter from Mrs. Frances Stackhouse Acton to the Very Reverend the Dean of Hereford
Authors: Acton Frances Stackhouse
Published: June 2012

Acton Scott is situated about three quarters of a mile to the east of the Watling Street road, which leads from Wroxeter, through the Strettons to Leintwardine and Brandon Camp, and from thence to Kentchester. In the “Salopia Antiqua” another line of Roman road is described by Mr. Hartshorne, as going from Nordy Bank, at the foot of the Brown Clee hill, to Wroxeter, which at Wall would pass within four miles of Acton Scott, on the other side.
XXX. Letter of Sir Harry Stradling to his Wife, written in the year 1456. Communicated by the Rev. John Montgomery Traherne, M.A., F.R.S., and F.S.A., in a Letter to the Rev. Joseph Hunter, F.S.A.

You will oblige me by laying before the Society of Antiquaries an autograph letter of Sir Harrye Stradling to his wife Elizabeth, the sister of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, dated from Rome “the laste day of March.” The year is not stated, but may be collected from the notice of the great battle between the troops of the King of Hungary, commanded by John Hunniades, and the Turks, at Belgrade, A. D. 1456, wherein the latter were defeated with a loss of “forty thousand men.” Heylin (Cosmographie, p. 544, ed. 1666) estimated their loss at 50,000.
XV.—Observations on a Lease of Two Houses in the Piazza, Covent Garden, granted to Sir Edmund Verney, A.D. 1634. By John Bruce, Esq. Treas. S.A.
Authors: Bruce John
Published: June 2012

The interest which attaches to the growth of our vast metropolis, with all the concomitant improvements in building and in the comforts and conveniences of our dwellings, renders any evidence upon that subject worthy of general attention; I therefore take advantage of the permission of Sir Harry Verney, to exhibit to the Society of Antiquaries a lease granted in 1634 to Sir Edmund Verney, Knight Marshal to King Charles I., of two of the new houses then just erected as part of the Piazza in Covent Garden.
X. Account of the traces of a Roman Villa discovered, A. D. 1840, at Gayton, near Northampton, communicated in a Letter from the Very Reverend George Butler, D.D., Dean of Peterborough, F.S.A., to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., Secretary
Authors: Butler George
Published: June 2012

In a field, called “the Warren,” (part of the property of Sir Joseph Hawley, Bart, of Leybourne Grange, in the co. of Kent,) situated at the southern boundary of the parish of Gayton, and bordering upon the parish of Blisworth, the plough had oft-times been impeded by large stones, evidencing the traces of some old building. In the month of February 1840, the occupier of the field, desirous of removing this obstacle to his agriculture, and wanting stones for the under-draining of the land in various parts of his farm, employed labourers to dig up a portion of these foundations. During the progress of the work were discovered sundry Roman coins, a silver fibula, many fragments of Roman tiles and pottery, (some of the latter plain, some tastefully figured,) and a small bronze statue of Cupid in a dancing attitude, formerly (as it should seem) holding a wreath, suspended between his two hands, as supplied in the annexed sketch.
XV. Observations upon certain inaccuracies in the published Letters of sir Thomas More; in a Letter by John Bruce, Esq., F.S.A., addressed to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S., Treasurer

Having some years ago communicated to the Society of Antiquaries, in a letter addressed to you, certain documents relating to sir Thomas More, you will, perhaps, allow me again to trouble you upon a subject connected with that illustrious sufferer for conscience-sake.
XVIII. Observations on the Xanthian Marbles recently deposited in the British Museum. By Samuel Birch, Esq.
Authors: Birch Samuel
Published: June 2012

Previous to describing the interesting remains discovered by Mr. Fellows, in Lycia, in the years one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine and one thousand eight hundred and forty, and subsequently removed by the British Government, and deposited in the National Collection, it will be necessary to understand the variety of art exhibited on these marbles, and to take a succinct view of the vicissitudes experienced by the races which occupied the valley of the Xanthus. The manner in which the marbles were removed has been already announced elsewhere to the public; and the present Dissertation is only intended to consider them in respect to art, mythology, and the local history of the Xanthians.
XXVI. Observations on a fictile Vase representing the contest of Hercules and Juno, preserved in the Department of Antiquities in the British Museum. By Samuel Birch, Esq.
Authors: Birch Samuel
Published: June 2012

The vase which I have taken for the subject of the present paper (see Plate XVIII.) is peculiar for two reasons; from its style and fabric being a transition between those called Corinthian, Nolano-Egyptian, or Phœnician, and for its exhibition of a subject, if not untreated, yet not clearly exhibited by any other monument of ancient art. It is evidently the produce of the furnaces of the Etruscan population, and is a connecting link between the before-mentioned and Tyrrhenian styles. The subject is in black on a pale clay-coloured background, with red and white accessaries; the drawings coarse, with the usual scratched marks, and the principal story a Greek tradition of the Iliad treated in an Italian manner. It was purchased of Signor Campanari, and was, I believe, found at Cære or Agylla.
III. Observations on the Ecclesiastical Round Towers of Norfolk and Suffolk; in a Letter from John Gage, Esq. F.R.S., Director, to Hudson Gurney, Esq. V.P. &c.

I enclose for your perusal, and if you think proper for that of the Society of Antiquaries, a Disquisition on the member of Architecture called an Oriel, wherein you will find the evidence on that obscure subject classified in a novel manner, and at least a plausible etymology suggested; though, to use the words of Lambarde, “contentinge my selfe to intermedle myne own opinion simplie, without eyther prejudice of any other man's that shall judge otherwise, or pertinacitie in myne owne when I shall hear a better.”
XXII. Letters from King Henry VI. to the Abbot of St. Edmundsbury, and to the Alderman and Bailiffs of the town, for the suppression of the Lollards: Communicated by John Gage, Esq. F.R.S., Director, to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S., Secretary, &c.

In the Register belonging to the monastery of St. Edmundsbury, compiled in the time of William Curteys XXV Abbot, are two letters from King Henry VI. addressed, one to the Abbot, and the other to the Alderman and Bailiffs of the town, for the suppression of Lollards, and other seditious persons. As these letters, or any on the occasion which gave rise to them, do not occur in our historians, I send you copies of them: they appear to have been written in 1431.

When I had the honour of laying before you in 1832 a Plan of the Barrows called the Bartlow Hills, in the parish of Ashdon, with an account of Roman sepulchral relics then lately discovered in the lesser Barrows, I informed you that the greater remained to be explored, and that I was not without expectation Lord Maynard on some future occasion would make further excavations on the spot. I have now the gratification of announcing to you the success which has attended a recent excavation made by his Lordship in the largest of these tumuli.

The Rev. Mr. Todd, to whose kindness I was lately indebted for the opportunity of communicating to the Society the representation of a very ancient and curious Font in Yorkshire, has now requested me to present in his name three Drawings of other antiquities in that county, which have been executed for him by Mr. Barton, a young artist of promising talents.
XXII. Two Papers relating to the Interview between Henry the Eighth of England, and Francis the First of France; Communicated by John Caley, Esq. F.R.S. and F.S.A. in a Letter to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Caley John
Published: June 2012

In arranging some loose Papers in the Chapter-house, Westminster, preparatory to their being bound for their better preservation, I met with several respecting the Interview between King Henry the Eighth of England, and Francis the First of France. Some of them were merely draughts, incomplete, and of no great interest; but others appeared to me not undeserving of being laid before our Society. I have caused them, therefore, to be carefully transcribed, and send them herewith, requesting, when convenient, you will have the goodness to read them to the Society.
XXVII. Plan projected in 1561, for building a House of Correction in Westminster: Communicated in a Letter addressed to the Right Honourable the Earl of Aberdeen, K. T. President, by Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Ellis Henry
Published: June 2012

The Society of Antiquaries has recently been presented with one or two Communications of considerable interest respecting Westminster: and in the absence of any thing more important, I beg to lay before it the Transcript of a Scheme, projected in 1561, for constructing a House of Correction for that City. The original is preserved among the Lansdowne Manuscripts in the British Museum, and is endorsed, as for consideration, in the hand-writing of Lord Burghley.
VII. Description of the sepulchral Effigy of John de Sheppy, Bishop of Rochester, discovered in Rochester Cathedral, A.D. 1825, with illustrative Drawings: communicated by Alfred John Kempe, Esq. F.S.A. in a Letter to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary

I beg to submit to the inspection of the Society of Antiquaries, the Drawings which I caused to be made in August last, by Mr. John Swaine junior, student of the Royal Academy, from the Effigy of John de Sheppy, Bishop of Rochester, which was discovered in the year 1825, during the repairs which took place in Rochester Cathedral, under the superintendance of Mr. Cottingham the architect.
XI. Four Letters on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of France; addressed to John Gage, Esq. F.R.S., Director, by Thomas Rickman, Esq.
Authors: Rickman Thomas
Published: June 2012

Having, in company with my friend the Reverend William Whewell, of Trinity College, Cambridge, spent a few weeks in examining the ecclesiastical Edifices in Picardy and Normandy, and having conferred with Messrs. Le Prevost of Rouen, De Caumont of Caen, and Lambert of Bayeux, all active and zealous Members of the Society of Antiquaries of Normandy, I am desirous of laying before the Society some account of the results of this examination, if the Society think it worthy of their notice.
XV. An illustration from the Church of St. John, Syracuse, to accompany Mr. Gage's Dissertation on the Anglo-Saxon Ceremonial of the Dedication and Consecration of Churches; in a Letter from Sydney Smirke, Esq. F.S.A., to Sir Henry Ellis, Secretary
Authors: Smirke Sydney
Published: June 2012

On hearing lately read at the Society a very able and interesting Paper by Mr. Gage, on the Consecration of the Anglo-Saxon Churches, a passage in it, intimating his belief that crosses cut on the face of the walls marked the spots touched by the Chrism at the ceremony of the Consecration, brought to my recollection a case bearing much on the subject, and affording corroborative evidence of the correctness of Mr. Gage's supposition.
XXIV. Account of an ancient carved figure of St. George, preserved in the Museum at Dijon; in a Letter from Thomas Willement, Esq. F.S.A. to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Willement Thomas
Published: June 2012

My friend Mr. Ambrose Poynter having entrusted to my care a statue of St. George, which may, I think, in many points be considered extremely curious, I beg to forward it, with his permission, for the inspection of the Society of Antiquaries.

Mr. Poynter writes to me, that ‘the accompanying figure of St. George, is cast from the original, carved in wood and emblazoned, and forming part of an altar-piece now in the museum at Dijon. This altar-piece is the work of Jacques de Baertz, carver of images (tailleur d'images) to Philippe le Hardi, Duke of Burgundy, who presented this work, and another of the same sort, to the Chartreuse of Dijon in 1391. There are several figures of saints in these compositions; but this of St. George is undoubtedly the most valuable, as giving an exact representation of the knightly costume at the end of the fourteenth century.’
XXVI. An Account of the Remains of the Palace at Ravenna, reputed to have been that of the Gothic King Theodoric. By Sydney Smirke, Esq. F.S.A. in a Letter to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., Secretary
Authors: Smirke Sydney
Published: June 2012

The accompanying Sketch (PI. LXIII.) I made when at Ravenna a few years ago; it represents a building in that City interesting as a reputed portion of the residence of a celebrated personage, and as an example of the style of architecture prevalent at a period very remote and obscure in the history of that art; I have therefore thought that it would not be considered unfit to be exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries.
IX. Description of the Engravings on a German suit of Armour, made for King Henry VIII., in the Tower of London; by Samuel Rush Meyrick, Esq. LL.D. and F.S.A. in a Letter to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary
Authors: Meyrick Samuel Rush
Published: June 2012

In the new arrangement of the Horse-armoury at the Tower, which the Master-General and the Honourable Board of Ordnance were pleased to confide to my directions, I deemed it proper that several of the horses should be barded, instead of allowing the armour for that purpose to remain indiscriminately mixed with other pieces on the walls. Having, therefore, ordered all of such description to be brought to me, that I might put together those of a suit, I found some covered with black paint, which, on holding to the light, appeared to me to contain a faint resemblance of engraving. On removing a portion of this coating my conjectures were not only confirmed, but I instantly saw that these were the horse-armour for the suit, hitherto considered as having been made for Henry VII., and which has the characteristic contour of the close of his reign. On the whole being sent to Enfield to be cleaned, I requested Mr. Lovell, the superintendant of the small armoury department there, whom I knew to be very skilful, to take accurate tracings of whatever was worthy of remark. The result has proved the suit to have belonged to Henry VIII. and exhibits so curious a picture of the superstitious feelings of the times, which conceived a man's body to be doubly protected when not only sheathed in steel but covered with the legends of saints, that I am induced to beg you will lay the drawings before the Society of Antiquaries.
DEBREGEASIA AUSTRALIS SP. NOV. (URTICACEAE), WITH A NEW SYNOPSIS OF AND A NEW KEY TO THE GENUS
Authors: Wilmot-Dear C. M. , Friis I.
Published: June 2012

A new species in the Old World genus Debregeasia (Urticaceae), D. australis Friis, Wilmot-Dear & C.J.Chen, based on material from forest habitats in eastern Queensland, Australia, is described, illustrated and mapped. A new synopsis of the genus and a new key to species recognised is provided as a supplement to the revision of Debregeasia by C. M. Wilmot-Dear in 1988. Debregeasia orientalis, described from China since 1988, is accepted, species from China and Bangladesh (D. elliptica and D. dentata) are reinstated, and other taxonomic changes made since the revision of 1988 are summarised.
Inhibition of the PI3 kinase cascade in corticolimbic circuit: temporal and differential effects on contextual fear and extinction
Authors: Kritman Milly , Maroun Mouna
Published: June 2012

We studied the role of PI3K cascade in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and the infralimbic region of the medial prefrontal cortex (IL-mPFC), in contextual fear learning and extinction in the rat. To that end, we micro-infused the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PIK3) inhibitor LY294002 into either the mPFC or the BLA. Infusion of LY294002 into the BLA following fear conditioning was associated with enhanced freezing levels and impaired extinction in the subsequent sessions. Similarly, inhibition of PI3K in the BLA before the retrieval of fear memory was associated with impaired retrieval of the fear memory, which was expressed as reduced freezing levels that persisted over 2 d. In the IL-mPFC, only consolidation of fear extinction was impaired: micro-infusion of PI3K inhibitor following the retrieval of fear was associated with impaired extinction on the following days. These results indicate differences in the temporal parameters of the effects of PI3K inhibition in the IL-mPFC and in the BLA, which suggest differential involvement of these structures in long-term fear and in extinction of fear memory. Our findings provide additional evidence for the critical roles played by PI3K in intact formation of fear memory and in its extinction and add new evidence for a role of PI3K in consolidation of memory of extinction. Better understanding of the differential involvement of the PI3K cascade during acquisition and extinction of fear conditioning in the mPFC-amygdala circuit could potentially contribute to the understanding and treatment of anxiety disorders.
