Abstract

THE last report of the Inspector of Ancient Monuments, Mr. C. R. Peers, with an introduction by the First Commissioner, Earl Beau-champ, describes the limitations under which the work of the Department is conducted at present. The existing Acts are merely permissive, and the State can exercise no supervision, except with the consent, and indeed by the desire, of the owner. Earl Beauchamp believes that his Department should be invested with the power of intervention when monuments are suffering from neglect, or are threatened with actual damage or destruction, a view in which all antiquaries will concur.
