Excerpt from Per Lineam Valli: A New Argument Touching the Earthen Rampart Between Tyne and Solway

This essay is based on minute observations made during eight days of studious journeying along the vallum of Hadrian's wall. It is right to say that I started on my antiquarian pil grimage early last month with a thorough faith in the theory of the vallum which at present prevails, and that it is because that faith has been shattered as regards an important portion of the problem that these notes are penned. That they raise issues calculated to place the question on a new basis is a conviction perhaps too arrogant for a preface to express.

Some incidental references to the Vallum of Antonine are, I believe, in virtually entire harmony with the' conclusions of the Glasgow Archaeological Society's special committee which, with Mr. William Jolly as its zealous and genial chief, has been conducting investigations during the past summer.
