The other circumstance to which we have above referred was the discovery of the Roman city of Uriconium, near Wroxeter, about five miles from Shrewsbury, in the year 1788.

The next morning the members of the three upper classes had embarked aboard the three big battleships that lay at anchor in the Severn.
