INTRODUCTION.

THE completion of the TWENTY-FOURTH Annual Volume of THE RELIQUARY gives me opportunity of again, yet once more—and that, if possible, with increased and ever-increasing emphasis-offering my most cordial and earnest thanks to all who have in any way, either as contributors or subscribers, lent their aid during the past twenty-four years of its existence, and enabled me throughout the whole of that time to carry it on with such useful results to the archæological world.

In that time much has been done in the furtherance, spreading, and development of archæological knowledge; in the important discoveries that from time to time and in every direction have been made; and in the elucidation of numberless points of immense historic interest. In all these the "RELIQUARY" has, I am proud to say -thanks to the readiness of its gifted and painstaking contributors-ever been foremost to put on record whatever was curious and valuable in every branch of enquiry; and its twenty-four volumes that now range themselves side by side, attest strongly and unmistakably to the work it has accomplished, and to the zeal, the energy,

the unwearied perseverance, and the matchless capability of its many and highly-gifted contributors, whose writings grace its pages, and give it a character of pre-eminent usefulness.

To them, one and all, then, I tender my best thanks for all they have done in the past; and while offering those thanks, beg them to continue their assistance in the future, and thus help me to still maintain for the “RELIQUARY" the proud position it has attained, and for which it has ever shaped its course, that of being the leading Antiquarian Journal of the age.

I need scarcely say that at all times I shall be glad to receive from old and new friends alike, such contributions to its pages as they may be able to send, and to give them, as I have hitherto done, careful and early insertion.
