I have the honour of sending you for the inspection of the Society a model of the remains of the amphitheatre of Flavius Vespasian at Rome, which from the minuteness and accuracy with which it is executed, I flatter myself will deserve their attention. The purposes to which a Roman amphitheatre was appropriated are so generally known, and particularly to the Society of Antiquaries, that I shall here beg leave only to offer a few remarks, which occurred to me on the spot, and which you will do me the honour of communicating to the Society.
