Since that time they had been in family hands and despite attempts to buy them, the collection remained in obscurity and the manuscript unpublished. A number of letters are reprinted above in the final Appendix, one from Thomas Godfrey Faussett, great-grandson, giving valuable biographical information and some from the Rev. James Douglas, outlining his attempts to buy the collection and Journal from Faussett's son. Eventually, his great grandson sold all to the Liverpool jeweller, Joseph Mayer, who employed Charles Roach Smith to work the ms. for publication. Smith also contributed some of the chapter decorations, others being drawn by Fairholt who also produced many of the plates. The coloured plates and three of the engravings were drawn by W. P. HERDMAN, possibly the son of another Liverpool artist, William G. Herdman. The book comes from the library of JOHN BRENT Jr. (1808-1882), antiquary and novelist, born in Rotherhithe and then living in Canterbury, where he died. He was passionately interested in the history and antiquities of Canterbury and Kent and published many articles on the subject. The text is rather topical today, given the exceptional find of a Saxon tomb in not-so-distant Southend, Essex.

See his long and appreciative entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. Worn and aged, with part of paper mount adhering over half of the reverse. Written in a tight close hand. Begins: 'My dear Jerdan / The inclosed is for you to do what you like with. / I am off to Lord Albert's tomorrow morning - the weather is improving.' He suggests that 'Smith [i.e. the antiquary Charles Roach Smith] will give you give information of what he does at Hartlip, [in Kent, where a Roman villa was being excavated] and give you an opportunity of going, if there is any chance.' He exclaims: 'How the Times has taken us up this morning?' And he ends the letter: 'Try and get the Mayor's speech - I see it is suppressed everywhere.'.

One page, 12mo, fold marks, grubby but text clear and complete. "It appears to me that the fibula [broach or clasp] in question is of the XIthe century, and represents a still ruder imitation of the rude Munus Divinus of Louis-Le-Debonaire. It was for several centuries the custom in France, that all sort of coins or imitations of coins in all the different metals, bearing portraitrs with names, or religious legends & were given as mariage presents. And of course such gifts served also for other sacred and religious ceremonies. And afterwards formed into fibulae [an addition in smaller hand]. | I may also yet observe, suppose a Person's name was Ludovicus, I do not see why he should not have presented /: [?] in those days -:/ [?] such a fibula according to circumstances either in gold, silver, or copper to his betrothed.".

Archaeologist Charles Roach-Smith's copy of this second edition, in very good condition, with a few combative annotations correcting the author's assertions about the Roman world. Roach-Smith strongly disagrees in his annotation with Pulleyn's stated view of the origins of pottery and the use of glass in the ancient world. 'Window glass is often found in Roman villas' is how he counters Pulleyn's statement on the matter (p21) and is equally assertive on the Roman use of knives. A few years before his death Roach-Smith gave the book to a historian friend in the Kent town where he lived in retirement. The book is half bound in brown cloth to corners and spine over paper boards. Corners and edges a little knocked. Title label to spine panel. Considerably enlarged version. Text block entirely sound and crisp throughout; a little age toned as expected; occasional annotation to margins. Front pastedown reveals a chain of ownership from 'Chas Roach-Smith, Lothbury [City of London where Roach-Smith lived and worked] 1832' and towards the end of his life gifted 'To Mr H. Smetham May 16/[18]87 Strood' (Henry Smetham was a historian of the Kent town of Strood). 356 pp. collated and complete, Charles Roach Smith (20 August 1807 2 August 1890), FSA, was an English antiquarian and archaeologist who was a founder member of the British Archaeological Association who pioneered the statistical study of Roman coin hoards. His papers are at the Society of Antiquaries. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
