Reports on the dilapidation of significant buildings were also produced. The Society was also concerned with the topics of heraldry, genealogy, and historical documents. Archaeologia was the Society's first journal, and mainly contained papers that had been delivered at the Society's meetings: in the early years these included many delivered in previous decades that had remained unpublished. This volume is distinguished by the quality and interest of their many engraved plates and plans (many fold-out) and textual illustrations. It looks superb on the shelf, and is wonderful to hold and explore the contents. A great country house or gentleman's club look, and a fascinating record of late 18th archaeology and antiquarian study. Please see photos for detailed contents list. The subjects covered include (but not limited to): various excavation reports, Dundalk Irish ship-temple, pagodas and caverns in Bombay, pagan practices of ancient Druids, observations of the Flavian Amphitheatre (Colosseum), deciphering the language of Gypsies, Roman roads, the history and development of archery and bow shooting....
