[PINKERTON, John] [1758-1826].
The Medallic History Of England To The Revolution.
London: Printed For Edwards And Sons, 1790..
4to. pp. iv, 112. 40 engraved plates. A nice wide-margined copy in contemporary sprinkled calf, rebacked retaining spine label, corners renewed. First Edition. "This work is the first which lays before the Reader a complete series of English Medals down to the Revolution. Mr. Evelyn, in his Numismata, published many English Medals, and about the middle of this century Mr. Perry engraved some plates of them; but Mr. Snelling's plates greatly exceeded all former attempts in this way. The Publishers of the present Work have improved upon Mr. Snelling's plan, in supplying his deficiencies, and giving a description with the plates.Mr. Snelling's Collection, though meritorious, was so incomplete, that more than a third of the plates now appear for the first time, and in those some of the most rare and curious Medals are contained. If we except the Medals of the Popes, this Collection may boast of being the first genuine and complete one of its kind.The Publishers beg leave to acknowledge, with graititude, the liberality of that eminent Medallist Dr. Combe in favour of this Work. To his capital Collection of Prints and Drawings of English Medals they are entirely indebted for many of the curious articles here published. To him they also owe several explanations in the descriptions." (Preface)
