Excerpt from Excavations on the Site of the Roman City at Silchester, Hants, in 1890The scheme therein set forth, which had already been sanctioned by the Duke of Wellington, the owner, and by Mr. Cooper, the tenant, met with the cordial support and approval of the Fellows present, and it was unanimously referred to the Council to consider the steps necessary for carrying it out.The deliberations of the Council were eminently practical, for they not only at once appointed an executive committee to carry out the scheme, but, by the liberal grant of 251. From the funds of the Society, and another 251. From the newly-created Research Fund, they initiated the means by which the scheme could be carried into effect.A strong and in¿uential general committee was next formed, and, as other subscriptions began to come in, it was decided to commence operations. The executive committee accordingly met at Silchester to inspect the site, and finally resolved that the work should be begun, as suggested in our memorandum, by completing the excavation of the large insula north of the forum, where the late Rev. J. G. Joyce, had already uncovered the remains of a large house.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
