XII. Observations on Roman Remains recently found in London: in a Letter from Charles Roach Smith, Esq. F.S.A. to John Gage Rokewode, Esq. F.R.S. Director

After the lapse of some few years, I resume the subject of discoveries of Roman remains in London. Since the spring of 1836 (when I first had the honour of submitting the result of my exertions to the notice of the Society) there has been little or no intermission to excavations carried on throughout the City for what is termed “City Improvements,” and for sewerage, all of which have been more or less productive in furnishing means for throwing light on the state of London and its inhabitants in a remote and interesting period of their history.
