This sentence is engraved on plate of
brass, in the Hebrew language, and on its
sides are the following words: "a similar
plate has been sent to each tribe" 1t was
discovered in the year 1880, in the city of
Aquila, in the kingdom Of Naples, by a
search made for the discovery of Roman an
tiquities, and remained there until it was
found by the commissioners of art in the
French army of Italy. Up to the time of
the campaign in Southern Italy, it was pre-.
served in the sscristy of the Carthusians,
near Naples, where it was kept in box Of
ebony. Since then the relic has been kept
in the chapel of Caserta. The Carthusians
obtained by their petitions that the plate
might be kept by them, which was an &C.
acknowledgement of the sacrifices which they
made for the French army. The French
translation was made literally by members Of
the commission of arts. Demon had fac
sipsile Of the plate engraved, which was
bought by Lord Howard, on the sale Of his
cabinet, for 1880 francs. There seems tobe
no historical doubt as to the authenticity of
this, The reasons of the sentence cores
pond exactly with those of the Gospel.
