The meetings of this Society are on
Thursday evenings weekly, from about
six till nine o'clock, at their house in
Chancery-lane: their business is to re-
ceive, read and consider all informations
from their own members, or others,
concerning the Antiquities of all nations,
(for which purpose they admit eminent
foreigners to be correspondent members)
but they more particularly attend to the
study of the ancient history, customs,
manners, grants, charters, coins, me-
dals, camps, churches, cities, and all
monuments whatever, ecclesiastical, mili-
tary, or civil, which are found in or re-
late to Great Britain and Ireland.  And
the communications they have received
concerning these matters must be very
valuable, as may be judged by the many
curious remains of antiquity they have
caused to be engraven on copper-plates,
and permitted lately to be sold; tho' as
yet they have not thought fit to publish
any of their dissertations.  They have a
small but choice library, which is in-
creasing daily, also a fine collection of
prints and drawings.
