PREFACE TO VOL. II.,

NEW SERIES.

In presenting another Volume to the public, we are glad to call the attention of Members of the Cambrian Archæological Association, and of Antiquaries generally, to the important nature of its contents.

Some remarkable excavations and examinations of Early British works have drawn forth several articles from the pen of Mr. Wynne Ffoulkes, and especially an elaborate Paper on the Site of the Last Battle of Caractacus. The controversy on this point may now be considered, if not completely settled, yet at least considerably illustrated,—as far, perhaps, as the long lapse of time will permit.

Mr. Westwood's remarks on the Early Inscribed Stones of Wales, illustrated by excellent designs, have been continued, and will, we hope, ultimately grow into a work of national importance.

Our readers will find much accurate information, and many valuable critical remarks on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of Monmouthshire in Mr. Freeman's Paper on edifices in that county,-itself one of the richest fields opened to the researches of Members of our Association. We are indebted to this gentleman for the wood
