PEEFACE.

THE whole of these inscriptions were copied with great care, and the same care has been extended to the printing of them; it is therefore hoped that no errors of an important character will appear in any portion of the work.

A short note, descriptive of the style of the monument in regard to its shape or ornamenta­ tion, generally precedes the inscription. "Where no note occurs, the stone is plain.

Dotted gaps in the inscriptions show where space has been left in the stones for the insertion of other names at a future time.

A short line separates the inscriptions, and each one is comprised within inverted commas.
