Sir,—The article in your Journal by Mr. Roberts ‘On the Oracle Inscriptions discovered at Dodona’ (recently published at Paris in the magnificent work of Constantin Carapanos, entitled Dodone et ses ruines), has been read by me with great gratification, and has awakened in my mind some delightful reminiscences. May I be permitted to communicate them?

Fifty years ago, when at Naples, and preparing for a journey to Greece, I had the pleasure of friendly intercourse with Sir William Gell, who at that time had done more than any one in Europe for the elucidation of the geography and topography of Greece, except perhaps Mr. Dodwell and Colonel Leake. In one of our conversations at that time Sir William Gell said to me, ‘One of the most interesting and difficult questions in Greek geography is, “Where was Dodona?” When you go to Greece, mind and try to find it out.’
