Extract

I consider the interesting communication of my friend Mr. Douce, published by the Society of Antiquaries, in the xviith volume of the “Archaeologia,” p. 290, so very instructive, that I am induced to trouble you with this Letter. My object is to shew what application of it may be made, so as to bring us more intimately acquainted with the manners of our ancestors; and if you think I have succeeded, you will probably favour me by reading it to the Society.
