PREFACE
TO THE FIRST EDITION.
In presenting this work to the public I need say
but little by way of preface. It is the result of the
occupation of what leisure hours I could spare,
during the last few years, from various and
important business, and my object in undertaking
it is explained in the Introduction.
What now remains for me to do is to express
my thanks to those numerous friends who have
so kindly aided me during the progress of my
work, both by placing specimens in their
collections at my disposal, and by examination of
my proofs. Foremost among these must be ranked
the Rev. William Greenwell, F.S.A., from whose
unrivalled collection of British antiquities I have
largely drawn, and from whose experience and
knowledge I have received much assistance in
other ways.
To Mr. A. W. Franks, F.S.A.; Mr. J. W. Flower,
