I did myself the honor, some time ago, to submit to the judgment of this most respectable Society the result of my antiquarian researches in Monmouthshire. It has since been an agreeable surprize to me, to find the same subject treated by the Reverend Mr. William Harris, in his observations on the Julia Strata, and other Roman remains in South Wales, inserted in the second volume of the Archaeologla since this Gentleman's observations seem to confirm the principles, which I ventured to adopt in regard to the Romans in Wales, by additional proofs, not only respecting Monmouthshire and Brecknockshire, but with regard also to the other neighbouring Welsh counties. As the perusal of Mr. Harris's Paper has given me occasion to make some particular remarks, I think proper to communicate them to the Society, as a supplement to my former Essays, and a further illustration of this curious subject. I shall also add such antiquarian observations as I was able to make in my tour through the neighbouring county of Glamorgan.
