_Rome, Ancient and Modern_.--I observed, in a shop in Rome, in 1847,
a large plan of that city, in which, on the same surface, both ancient
and modern Rome were represented; the shading of the streets and
buildings being such as to distinguish the one from the other. Thus,
in looking at the modern Forum, you saw, as it were _underneath_ it,
the ancient Forum; and so in the other parts of the city. Can any of
your readers inform me as to the name of the designer, and where, if
at all, in England, a copy of this plan may be obtained?

If I remember rightly, the border to the plan was composed of the
Pianta Capitolina, or fragments of the ancient plan preserved in
the Capitol. In the event of the map above referred to not being
accessible, can I obtain a copy of this latter plan by itself, and
how?
