ANGLO-CAMBRIAN * * * * * THE REVEREND THOMAS LEMAN. Mr. Editor,--Amongst the later authorities on subjects of British-Roman antiquity, the Rev. Thomas Leman is constantly referred to, and in terms of great commendation. Can you inform me whether that gentleman published any work or made an avowed communication of any of his researches? His name is not found in the Index to the _Archæologia_. Mr. Leman contributed largely to Mr. Hatcher's edition of _Richard of Cirencester_; but it is one of the unsatisfactory circumstances of this work that these contributions, and whatever may have been derived from the late Bishop of Cloyne, are merely acknowledged in general terms, and are not distinguished as they occur. I believe the MS. of the work was all in Mr. Hatcher's handwriting; some of your readers may possibly have the means of knowing in what way he used the materials thus given, or to what extent they were adapted or annotated by himself. A.T. Coleman Street, Nov. 13. |
