Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Collectanea Antiqua, Vol. 3: Etchings and Notices of Ancient Remains, Illustrative of the Habits, Customs, and History of Past Ages
It is not given to the Foreign members and its gratuitous distribution has ever been on the most narrow scale; although it might have been made of great utility under a more liberal administration. Recently the back stock has been sold to a bookseller at an almost nominal price. I should not consider it would be encouraging archaeology to sell the unsubscribed stock of the Collee tanea for waste paper.' I have never professed to be able to work without co operation and support. On the contrary, these volumes are a proof that I need assistance and do not disdain to receive it. But a precarious and inadequate help, clogged with conditions and stipulations, is help only in name, and a hindrance in reality. The subscribers to the Collectanea, in generous confidence, leave me perfectly free and nu shackled my only care being an anxious wish they should feel their confidence is not improperly bestowed.
