الصفحة 10 - Jam vero principum filios liberalibus artibus erudire, et ingenia Britannorum studiis Gallorum anteferre, ut, qui modo » linguam Romanam abnuebant, eloquentiam concupiscerent. Inde etiam habitus nostri honor et frequens toga, paulatimque discessum ad delenimenta vitiorum, porticus et balnea et conviviorum elegantiam ; idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis ^ esset.
الصفحة 38 - Caesiano, quinis et vicenis pluribusve stipendiis eme-ritis, dimissis honesta missione, quorum nomina subscripta sunt, ipsis, liberis, posterisque eorum civitatem dedit et conubium cum uxoribus, quas tune habuissent, cum est civitas iis data aut siqui coelibes essent, cum iis, quas postea duxissent dum-taxat singuli singulas.
الصفحة 9 - ... STUKELEY, whose work1 was published AD 1724, writes of BATH, that the Walls round the City were, in his day, for the most part entire, and perhaps the Old Roman work, except the upper part, which seemed repaired with the ruins of Roman buildings, for the " lewis holes," says he, " are still left in many of the stones ; and to the shame of the repairers, many Roman inscriptions...
الصفحة 10 - I saw 2 images, whereof one was of a naked man grasping a serpent in each hand, as I took it ; and this image was not far from the north gate. Such antiquities as were in the walls from the north gate to the east, and from the east gate to the south, hath been defaced by the building of the monastery, and making new walls. I much doubt whether these antique works were set in the time of the Romans...
الصفحة 4 - Britanniae 4875 millia passuum sunt. In quo spatio magna et multa flumina, fontes calidi opiparo exculti apparatu ad usus mortalium : quibus fontibus praesul est Minervae numen, in cujus aede perpetui ignes nunquam canescunt in favillas, sed ubi ignis tabuit, vertit in globos saxeos.
الصفحة 35 - The Phorbium,' observes Galen, 'possesses attenuating, attractive, and discutient powers. They apply its seeds mixed with honey to Leucoma, and it is believed to have the power of extracting spicula of wood.
الصفحة 10 - ... Baths, and the passages and walls of these have sometimes been mistaken for the actual Roman Baths. The length of the foundation traced at successive times after the first discovery was about 245 ft. from E. to W., and the breadth 120 ft. at the broadest part from N. to S. The remains did not long continue open to the public, as modern buildings were soon erected over them. A plan of the Baths was made by Dr. LUCAS, who published a good account of what he saw. This was improved and enlarged by...
الصفحة 10 - W. 14 ft. 4 in., and from the crown of the semi-circle to the partition wall which divides it from the square Bath, 18 ft. 10 in. The roof of this seems to have been sustained by four pilasters, one at each angle, and two at the springing of the circle. This Bath seems to have undergone some alteration...
الصفحة 106 - Foss has given rise to some very strange hypotheses. It has been supposed that the road was so called, because it was one of the hollow ways which marked out the lines of ancient British traffic; but, in truth, the Roman character of the Foss is perhaps more decided than that of any other highway in the island. It has been conjectured by others, that the road was left incomplete by the Romans, and certain portions of it in the north of Warwickshire have been pointed out as exhibiting a fossa merely...
