Extract

Your lordship and the Council of the Society of Antiquaries having determined that, to render the publication-price of Caedmon's Paraphrase more moderate, the Illuminations of the Manuscript should appear in the Archasologia, the following Brief Notice of the Work has been drawn up to accompany the Plates, closing with a Descriptive Catalogue of them by Mr. Thorpe, occasionally containing such passages of the Poem as the Illuminations are intended more strictly to refer to.
