vinces. Maxima Cæsariensis and Valentia, and three presidial, Britannia Prima, Britannia Secunda, and Flavia Cæsariensis. The Emperor Theodosius gave the name Valentia to a part of this Island, in honour of the Emperor Valentinian; he assigned it that name after he had repaired the prætentura, and the forts near that boundary, and gave it to a province which had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but was now recovered by him; but the boundaries and extent of all those provinces are now wholly unknown, and whatever is given in Modern Books as having relation to their limits, is entirely founded on Conjecture. 4. A particular Inquiry into the several Roman Stations in Britain that are mentioned in this Work. The fourth Chapter is an Essay on the Chorography of Britain, by the anonymous Geographer of Ravenna. This Chapter contains, 1. Some Account of the Author and his Work, from which it appears that both the Author and the time in which it was composed are very doubtful. 2. The Latin Text of this writer, taken from Dr. Gale's Edition. S. Remarks upon many of the places mentioned by him, and more particularly of such as seem to be the same with the Stations per Lineam Valli in the Notitia. The fifth Chapter is an Essay written by Professor Waid, on Peutinger's Table, so far as it relates to Britain. It contains, 1. A brief account of the Antiquity of Itineraries, from which it appears that the custom of writing Itinera ries is very ancient. Moses has recorded the Journies and Mansions of the Israelites in their passage from Egypt into Canaan, and Herodotus in describing the high road from Sardis in Lydia, to Susa, the royal City of the Persians, has given the number of mansions upon it, and their distances. The road contained 13,500 furlongs, and the mansions were in all 111, which whole space divided by the number of mansions gives nearly fifteen miles and a quarter for the mean distance between mansion and mansion. 2. An inquiry into the Age of Peutinger's Table. This Table received its name from Conrad Peutinger, in whose library it was found after his death, and it was afterwards printed in the year 1598. It is supposed to have been made about the time of the Emperor Theodosius the Great, and therefore has been called by some Tabula Theodosiana. 3. The nature and use of that Table. 4. A more particular Account of that part of it, which relates to Britain. This Chapter finishes the account of the Roman Antiquities in Britain. A Chronological Table of Occurrences relating to the Roman Affairs in this Island then follows, beginning with the first Expedition of Cæsar to Britain, and ending with the Romans abandoning it to the Inhabitants. An Index of the Inscriptions and Sculptures, after the manner of Gruter and Reinesius, divided into 20 Chapters, is then given, the heads of which are as follow. Chapter 1. Names and Attributes of Deities. 2. Temples, Altars, Statues, and other consecrated things. 3. Priests and their Attendants. 4. Magistrates and other Civil Officers. 5. Military Affairs. 6.
