' Others have laboured,

and we enter into their labours."

H E copper currency of this country, towards the end of the eighteenth century, was in such a neglected condition, by reason of the meagre supply, and the very inferior quality of the design, that tons of imitation regal halfpence and farthings were in circulation. Such being the state of things, it is no wonder that when the Provincial Token Coinage made its appearance, with the issue of the Pennies and Halfpence of the Parys Mines Company (of Anglesey) and others, many persons made collections of the novel specimens. The law of supply and demand, and vice versa, makes itself felt under all conditions. So long as the tokens were of good weight, and the supply was not in excess of the need for small change, tbe issue was advantageous to the public ; but when the supply exceeded the demand, and the quality had materially deterioratednot to mention the number of counterfeits which got into circulation they ceased to serve their purpose, and were superseded by the issue of the copper Twopenny and One Penny pieces of 1797. The following list of publications, mostly contemporaneous with the issue of the tokens, will be of interest: Thomas Spence, of No. 8, Little Turnstile, High Holborn, London, in 1795, published " The Coin Collector's Companion, being a descriptive alphabetical list of the Modern Provincial Political and other Copper Coins." There are 50 pp. and an Addenda. Some copies have a " Supplement" of vi. pp. Christopher Williams published " A Descriptive List of the Provincial Copper Coins, including those of London, MDCCXCV. Price Sixpence." 30 pp. Another" The Virtuoso's Guide in Collecting Provincial Copper Coins, being a copious and perfect description of all that are now extant. London : Printed by, and for J. Hammond, No. 12, St. Martin's Lane, and sold by Jones, No. 17, Butcher Row, and Denton, Hospital Gate, Smithfield. MDCCXCV." 45 pp. and Addendadescribes 428 specimens. In a notice " To the Public," the author refers to " Two Publications which bear a similarity to this," which have been published, and to the inaccuracies in such. This is rather amusing, seeing that he printed the Descriptive List by Christopher Williams. He further continues" It is to be lamented, that there are some persons who have been stimulated by the hopes of gain, to have several Dies made, and by striking the reverse of one Die with the obverse of another, and vice versa, they have produced a great number

of different Coins, which are vulgarly called ' Bastards,' and are in general esteemed unworthy a place in the Collections of the Curious." The author refrains from describing the " B a s t a r d s " or "Mules." A more extensive work is " A Descriptive List of the Provincial Copper Coins or Tokens issued between the Years 1786 and 1796, arranged alphabetically, by Samuel Birchall, of Leeds. From the originals in his own Possession." This title-page is an impression from a copper plate, and has an illustration of the obverse and reverse of his Private Token ; also" Leeds: Printed for 8. Birchall, and sold by Henry Young, Ludgate Street, London. 1796." There is also a title-page in letterpress"An Alphabetical List of Provincial Copper-Coins or Tokens, issued between the years 1786 and 1796. Leeds: Printed by Thomas Gill, 1796." There is a notice " To the Collectors of Provincial Coins," in which reference is made to the innumerable errors which have crept into the previous publications. The names of thirteen Collectors are given, who have contributed information as to specimens which appear in the Appendix, having an additional number in small figures, corresponding with the number opposite the name. " The Virtuoso's Companion and Coin Collector's Guide. London : Published for the Proprietor, by M. Denton, Hospital Gate, West Smithfield, 1795." Some copies have vol. 1 dated 1797, though the plates are dated 1795, &c. The Preface informs the reader that four hundred and eighty different coins will be illustrated, in four volumes, for twenty shillings. Early copies have some pages erroneously numbered, viz., pp. 195 and 198, each of which are repeated, pp. 199 and 201 being omitted; but the engravings are not in duplicate, and agree with those in a copy (evidently a later issue, the illustrations not being so sharp) where the paging is continuous. In this, the page having the Gloucester and Berkley Canal token, is numbered 201; and that having a view of a churchSt. Catherine's, Coleman Streetis 199. This erroneous pagination has been the cause of some copies being described as imperfect or incomplete. James Wright, Junr., Esq., F.A.S.S., wrote an interesting article, headed " Observations on Coins," referring to the several types of design as represented on the tokens, &c. After the four volumes had appeared, there still remained such a number of specimens not illustrated, that it was decided to continue the publication, hence it was extended to eight volumes; T. Prattent, of 46, Cloth Fair, being responsible for it during the publishing of vols. 7 and 8. The work appeared at intervals of from ten to fourteen days, in paper covers, price sixpence ; twelve coins, on three plates, constituting a number. A frontispiece appeared with vol. 1, and at the end of vols. 4 and 8 an Index, but no explanatory or descriptive letterpress. This work, and also the octavo edition by C. Pye, are gradually becoming scarcer, many having been cut up to illustrate books of letterpress only. Charles Pye, engraver, of Birmingham, published by subscription his octavo work, having an engraved title-page : " Provincial Copper Coins or Tokens, issued between the years 1787 and 1796. Engraved by Charles Pye, of Birmingham, from the originals in his own Possession." Below is a figure of a female seated under the shade of a tree

contemplating the portrait of George III., which she supports with her right hand. In the "Advertisement," dated " Birmingham, Sept. 1, 1795," the author refers to "productions not being intended for circulation ; many of them so infamously base, that, in my opinion, they are a disgrace to the age we live in, and such as I don't think proper to admit into my collection." He published the work in twelve numbers, three plates in each, at lialf-a-crown per number; a few proofs on large paper, at five shillings per number. The Index contains, as far as he was able, the names of the Die-sinkers. This was succeeded by a quarto edition in 1801, with 55 plates ; an Index giving the names of Die-sinkers, Manufacturers, Proprietors, Quantities issued, and Observations ; a two-page Advertisement, in which lie describes the lines adopted in arranging the engravings, &c. A second edition was published by Matthew Young, about the year 1834. James Conder, of Ipswich, published " An Arrangement of Provincial Coins, Tokens and Medalets, issued in Great Britain, Ireland and the Colonies, within the last twenty years; from the farthing to the penny size; in two volumes, octavo, with three plates of illustrations." There are large paper copies printed on one side only. Some have, at the foot of title-page" Ipswich : Printed and Sold by George Jermyn. Sold also by T. Conder, No. 30, Bucklersbury, and H. Young, No. 10, Tavistock St., London. 1798 " ; others"Ipswich: Printed by George Jermyn; sold by Messrs. Cadell and Davies, Strand; Messrs. Rivington, St. Paul's Churchyard, and T, Conder, Bucklersbury. 1799." Some copies have an Appendix, finishing at p. 320; others have it continued to p. 333, following which is " Appendix Second," concluding with p. 348. The Index, paged 321-328, shows that the continuation of the first Appendix, and also the second Appendix, were compiled after the Index was printed; the paging of the letterpress following p. 320, and disregarding that of the Index. With the exception of the privately printed Catalogue of Sir George Chetwynd's Tokens, by Thomas Sharp, Conder's work was the book of reference till the publication of " T h e Tradesmen's Tokens of the Eighteenth Century," by James Atkins. This publication has been, and is, of such service to Collectors, that no better evidence as to its usefulness is possible than the fact that the collecting and study of the specimens has brought to light such a number of varieties of dies, especially in the Cheshire, Lancashire, Warwickshire and Anglesey series, as to warrant the publication of a work illustrating and describing all the known varieties. This will be published in sectionsobviously an advantage to those who limit their collection to one or more countiesand, as nearly as possible, will follow the arrangement in Atkins' work ; Mules will be described but not illustrated; the rarity of the various pieces will be stated ; the " Building " tokens will form a separate series, but will be also included in the letterpress of other series to conform with Atkins' arrangement. Thanks are tendered to all who have so willingly helped to make the publication so complete ; should others appear, the owners are asked to communicate with the authors with a view to having them described in an Addenda. Collectors will find their interest in the subject deepened by a study of the circumstances which brought about the issue, also by a consideration of the French Revolution, the Birmingham Riots, and their association with Priestley, &c. W. R. Hay, M.A., Vicar

of Rochdale, the issuer (along with Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. W. Orme) of the Buxton Tokens, was the Chairman of the Justices, and ordered the reading of the Riot Act, on August 16th, 1819, on the occasion of the great meeting at Manchester. The Political Series, although many are " Mules,'' is most interesting, having reference to many historical events. A visit to the Abbeys, Castles, Cathedrals or Churches, as represented on the specimens, mutually adds to the interest in the structure and the token ; in fact, the more attention is devoted to the subject and appertaining circumstances, the greater becomes the intellectual pleasure which a collection will furnish. Some knowledge of the theory of die-sinking is helpful. Specimens exist from dies which have been " lapped" or polished up, after having been used for the order for tokens; these may have a brilliant appearance on the "field," but the fine lines will be found to be wanting, and, to the uninitiated, such may appear to be from different dies (compare Nos. 5 and 6 Cheshire; Rochdale 89, rev. die ; Wainfleet, Atkins 9e; also among the tokens of Norfolk and Suffolk are some of this class). Thomas Sharp, in his Introduction to the Catalogue of the Provincial Coins in the Collection of Sir George Chetwynd, Bart., states that these specimens from polished dies " were eagerly bought by inexperienced Collectors as proofs." Collectors are cautioned against what are described as " unpublished edges." If the wording is entirely different, they may regard it as correctly described; but if only a " blundered edge," i.e. incorrect by reason of the lettering having been imperfectly impressed in the process of " rolling " it on, let it pass. " PAYABLE IN LONDON, the remainder engrailed."One having this " edge" may be offered as " unpublished" with a small x added. This would appear on all if not "blundered," and in many instances may be seen partly obliterated. Charles Pye refers to the Collector who, when he finds it difficult to procure a scarce variety of a coin, by means of filing and chasing a common impression of the same coin, contrives to patch up an imitation of a rare variety. Unfortunately, the evil which such men do lives after them, and as a result, an unpublished " Plain edge, in collar, may appear. A careful examination may show traces of filing, in which instance the specimen should be regarded as an ordinary one, the edge of which has been tampered with; or, an apparently genuine "Plain Edge in Collar" may have been produced by " t u r n i n g ' the edge in a lathe; but as such treatment would render the specimen smaller in diameter than the ordinary ones, a comparison will reveal the true character of the piece. \ e t , all things considered, there is less chance of a novice being deceived who has taken up the collection of tokens, than is the case in many other pursuits ; and, considering the number of specimens which may be obtained for the sum required for a moderately expensive painting, the number of Collectors should be much in excess of what it is at present, and a true Collector is always willing to instruct a beginner. Extracts from the " Bazaar Notes " and " The Universal British Directory," and works previously mentioned, have been used where such would add to the completeness of the description. S. H. HAMER.

OME apology is needed for the delay in the issue of this Work, as it has taken much longer than was anticipated to get the necessary informationespecially with regard to the various dies used for the Macclesfield series. It is hoped in future to publish a section every three months.

Our best thanks are accorded to all Collectors and Dealers who have so kindly assisted with descriptions, etc.; they will be more fully referred to at the completion. As far as possible, the general arrangement is in accordance with Atkins' valuable Work on the E I G H T E E N T H C E N T U R Y T O K E N S ; his numbers have been quoted thusA Experience has indicated the extent of research accomplished by him in compiling his work, and the care bestowed ou its arrangement. All the Tokens which he mentions have been traced, with the exception of the ten following, which are inserted on his authority:

N O T E re C H E S T E R T O K E N S N O S . 5 AND 6 . C . Pye states 8 cwts. struck. Specimens of No. 6 may be obtained in apparently "proof" condition, but, on examination, traces of die corrosion will be found on the reverse and slightly also on the obverse. These specimens were struck after the order had been completed, the dies being re-polished, which accounts for the " prooflike'' appearance. The polishing having partly removed the design, the legs of the owl were re-engraved carelessly, being now fully double the thickness of those on the tokens struck previous to the re-polishing of the dies. The wreath, being partly erased, now appears as a series of six diagonal dots. See Introduction.

The dies for this interesting series were engraved and the tokens struck by Hancock, for the proprietorsMessrs. Roe & Co.; the original partners being Charles Roe, Robert Hodson, Brian Hodson, Roland Atkinson, John Walker, Joseph Stockdale and Cookson Atkinson. The likeness was taken from Roe's monument in Christ Church, Macclesfield, of which he was the builder, where, at the altar, is his bust, and Genius weeping over him, holding a cogwheel in her hand. BaconSculptor. The Church was begun on March 22nd, 1775, and opened October 10th of the same year. Pye states that one ton of 1789, and ten tons of 1790, 1791 and 1792 issues were struck. Unless stated otherwise, all edges read "
PAYABLE AT MACCLESFIELD, LIVERPOOL OR C O N G L E T O N . "

1789 ISSUES.The points to be noted in the various rev. dies:The position of crown under p, and the top bar of windlass and period ; the hand to H ; and the number of spirals on boring tool. The author of the "Bazaar Notes" describes one as being without the "thread" or "screw" on the drill; but as it in other respects corresponds with No. 10, and as the thread on No. 10 is only faintly defined, they are probably from the same dies. The issues of 1790, '91 and '92 have been grouped for each year under the different obverses; the mode of identification being the letters of the word "WORKS," with which the front edge of coat lines, and the last button points. There are minute points of difference, such as the edge of coat being in line with the first part, the middle, or the last part of the first limb of R or K, etc. Such will be found by examining the token, but are not verbally described. For the reverse The letters in the word " The letters in the word "

to which the top bar of windlass points. and the period, to which the lower bar points.

In common with all other large issues of tokens, a number of counterfeits and tokens made for collectors were struck. These have been separated, and added at the end.

Sharp states that of this remarkable piece only one other instance is known, being an indented impression of one of Wilkinson's busts. Both specimens were obtained from the artist by Mr. Sharp, and presented by him to the respective cabinets of Sir George Chetwynd and the late Mr. Conder. It is obvious that only the Reverse die of the intended piece was completed, and Hancock gave no information as to the reasons for its being abandoned, or for whom it was executed. Dr. Priestley having, as is well known, made himself unpopular at Birmingham by the part he took in the intended celebration of the anniversary of the French Revolution at that town, had his house attacked by rioters, and burnt, together with its valuable scientific contents An angry warfare, through the medium of the press, followed ; and amongst other writers who entered the arena, one, whose assumed signature was ' John Nott the Buttonmaker," considerably distinguished himself; and it is upon the head of this person that Dr. I'riestley is represented as putting the fool's-cap. The likeness of the Doctor is admirably preserved by Hancock, who, on another occasion, was equally happy in giving a striking resemblance of him. T h e workmanship of this rare token is in the artist's best manner ; and it is to be regretted that the entire design was not finished. This, piece is now in the collection of S H Hamer.

(^"\ART II. has taken much longer to prepare than was anticipated, owing to the A number of Tokens with various edge readings, which have been very difficult In many instances, only one specimen

to trace and to determine their relative rarity. has been traced.

As, however, there may be others in cabinets of collectors who

hitherto have ignored the edge readings, we have marked these RR, instead of RRR. Later, we may be able to give a complete list of those Tokens where only one or two edge readings have been discovered. The following pieces have not yet been

traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins' work on Tokens and also from notes that have been supplied by various collectors :

Collectors who have any of these pieces, or meet with them at a later date, will greatly oblige by kindly communicating with us, so that they may be recorded in an Addenda. Since the printing of Part II., a new variety has been traced : No. 4a, plain edge. R. DALTON,

Atkins 4 and 5 are described in a similar manner to those in Sharp, but the latter adds that the die-flaw extended from the 7 in date. There are specimens where a die-flaw commences to the left of the exergue line and follows the legend till it reaches the die-flaw in date ; these are in very fine condition, but are from dies which have been polished up, thereby effacing some of the design. The reverse die has also been similarly treated, but not to so great an extent. The probability is, Atkins repeated the error of Sharp, who regarded as from other dies what was only from the cracked and polished ones. Emjraver W Y O N . ManufacturerKEMPSON. Aifcjw.

This farthing was a puzzle to the writer and readers of the "Bazaar Notes." The nearest approach to a solution which I can get, is John Fleming, Whitesmith, of Worcester; there is, about seven miles distant, a large parish named Leigh, l'ye does not record it, and probably it was no more a currency token than those of Woodford.

In arranging these tokens, it has been thought advisable to transfer to this section those having reference to Earl Howe, John Howard, Nelson, and Naval Farthings, and which appear in Atkins under
" N O T LOCAL."

The edge-reading cannot always be taken as a guarantee that the specimen was intended for local currency. By reason of the quantity struck, and the fact that the edge-reading

was "rolled" on the " b l a n k s " previous to such receiving the impression from the dies, it will be readily understood that, in some instances, it has no connection with the design on obverse or reverse. The grouping of tokens on the lines here indicated, will be of material assistance in the identification of
specimens,

especially to those with whom the study is a new pursuit.

SOUTHAMPTON.W. Taylor, whose mil! was at South S t o n e h a m , about four miles from S o u t h a m p t o n , was a maker of rope-blocks for ships and gun carriages, as shown on the shield. T h e r e is a Samuel Taylor described as a brewer in the Universal British Directory of 1790-5. Richard Vernon Moody died in 1792 ; the writer of the Bazaar N o t e s states that he was a member of the Corporation. Sir Bevois is recorded as being a very powerful man ; a sword of great size is shown at Arundel Castle, said to have been his weapon. On the wall of Bar-gate are sculptured a representation of Ascupart, a giant, and of Sir Bevois, who fought and conquered him. On the rare specimens he is described as ST. BEVOIS.

Tokens in this part are chiefly those made for currency; some few were

made for sale to collectors. Tlie Godington specimens appear to have been used as tallies, and it is strange that, though at one time so plentiful, they are now very scarce. The rare variety of the Eccleston Token is the Chetwynd specimen. Richard Fowke, the issuer of the Elmsthorpe Token, was a coin collector.

He compiled a manuscript chronicle of local antiquities and history, commencing with " T h e creation of the World, and of Elmsthorpe." The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins' work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various collectors : KENT.Nos. 18a, 20a, 36a, 38a.

GODINGTON

TOKENS.

In the MS. notes of the Rev. W. R. Hay, M.A., Vicar of Rochdale, is the following:"' 'The History of Mr. Toke's Hop Sixpence.In 1767, a remarkably , fine hop year, Mr. Harrison,, Attor Attorney (>eneral of Jamaica, was on a visit at Goddington, where, during the hop-picking season, he was so much struck with the novelty of the scene and the busy employment of so many persons collected on the occasion, that on his return to London he had a dye (sic) made in commemoration of a circumstance that had given him so much pleasure, and sent down 500 sixpences to Mr. Toke, which have been used ever since that time to supply the scarcity of silver. Before the year 1767 a copper token, marked I.T., was used for the same purpose." The writer of this record overlooked the fact that an obverse as well as a reverse die were necessary to enable the tokens of 1767 to be struck. It is interesting to note that, though without any indication of value, they passed current as sixpence. By a query in the Kentish Express, the editor states, on the authority of Colonel Toke, that some doubt exists whether the Godington Tokens had any fixed value as money, as the price paid for hop-picking varies nearly every year; and suggests that they were used as "tallies" or "checks," to represent bushels or baskets of hops picked, and were afterwards exchanged for coin, at the price for the year per bushel or basket. 1 he late Mr. Edward Greenhill, when he lived at Chilmington Green t^arni, had a large number of these Godington Hop Tokens, and used them in his gardens as "pickers' tallies." 1 he note by the Rev. W. R. Hay suggests "checks" or "tallies," rather than currency, by the statement that ''before the year 1767 a copper token was used for the same purpose, marked L.T." Obviously a copper or brass token as the specimens referred to, would only be accepted as of currency value to the extent of sixpence when and where it was known that such exchange could be effected.

rhe TI Lancaster Series were issued by Thos. Worwick, Sons & Co., of New Street, Bankers. 1 nomas Worwick was a goldsmith and silversmith. There was one Alexander VVorswick in Church street, a merchant. Artist ami ManufacturerHANCOCK.

rhere were a large number of counterfeits of both Lancaster and Liverpool Halfpennies. Pye an Sharp give 1791 and 1792 as the only dates of genuine issue. It is probable that all Lancaster alter No. 2b, and Liverpool Nos. 79 to 84, 89, and 100 to the end are counterfeits. Pye states that 5 tons ot 1792 counterfeits were made by Kempson, and that 1793 were not circulated by Mr. Clarke.

LUTWYCHE.

There was a John Fielding, warehouseman, of 12, Back Fatkner Street, and a grocer of the same name at 27, Withey Grove. It is within the range of possibility that the warehouseman was the issuer of the token No. 135, if not also that of No. 127, as both have the same edge reading. No. 138.Sharp gives Lutwyche as manufacturer; the artist is not stated. R a r i t y N o . 139.

It is probable that Spence had something to do with the issue of these piecesfor in his " Pigs' Meat" he mentions this very subject; at any rate his remarks may have suggested the design to the artist of the token. Sharp says the dies were cut by Hancock. A book by Thomas Hunter, dated 1800, is entitled"The Newcastle Sportsman ; or, a Race to Hell.

This plate of the Mail Coach is respectfully inscribed by his obedient humble servant, James Fittler." As the initials of J. F. appear on some, they may reasonably be regarded as having been issued by James Fittler. Those bearing the initials A. F.

MASONICNos. 367 to 374. (D) Dixon. (M) Lutwyche. The " Black Horse" Public House was in Victualling House Square, Tower Hill. It will be seen that a Birmingham issuer also used the dies.

The rest

SKIDMORE'SNo. 520. The Free-born Englishman with a padlock upon his mouth was doubtless designed as a sarcastic allusion to the Gagging Act against sedition, passed in 1795- This remark likewise applies to Spence's die, No. 709.

Some of the dies having developed cracks in the hardening process, they soon became damaged, so that quite a number of tokens cannot be obtained in perfect condition. Jacobs cut the dies of the entire series. SPENCE'SNo. 676. This was issued by Spence before the token issuing period proper. At the time of its dateviz. 1775Spence resided at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he first advocated his reform of the Land Laws. ( 8 )

SPENCE'SNo. 677. Spence was arrested upon a charge of high treason, on May 29th, 1794. The crime consisted of publishing his" Pig's Meat ; or, Lessons for the Swinish Multitude." He was discharged, without a trial, in December of the same year. He was prosecuted again in 1801 for publishing his own work, entitled " The Restorer of Society," which the Government termed a seditious libel. S P E N C E ' S 8 3 3 , etc. End of P a i n .

These " End of Pain " tokens were possibly not issued by Spence, for he was an ardent supporter of Paine and his " Rights of Man," and would scarcely have held him up to ridicule in this manner. The date recorded upon the book shown on the reverse of Nos. 833, 834, and 838, is that of the execution of Louis XVI. SPITTLE'SNos. 9 0 2 and 903. John Spittle was a grocer, at 6, Broadway, Ludgate Hill ; and John Kirby and Richard Lashmar were in the same trade at Brighton. Spittle became a bankrupt in October, 1797. The letters I.-P. upon the obverse of No. 903 are doubtless those of the die-sinker. STINTON'SNo. 9 0 4 (D) Dixon. (M) Lutwyche.

The Penny token of C James (No. 92) is a numismatic puzzle! It is of an advertising character, and C. Pye illustrates it as having a diagonally milled edge, and says14 About two dozen known to have been struck." " In Collar." No. 31 is undoubtedly struck " in collar," but it is questionable if all the others were. Of the larger specimen, showing a comparatively broad rim, one in the British Museum is in white metal; a specimen in Mr. Hamer's cabinet is in copper. It appears to have been struck from dies which had been partially defacedprobably with a blow from a hammeras the rim, opposite the defaeed portion on both the obverse and reverse, shows the encircling " rings " to be discontinued, as though the " field " of the dies had been subjected to pressure which had destroyed the circular form, at the point where the defacement took place. The ordinary specimens are somewhat smaller in diameter t h a n the " d e f a c e d " one. These smaller ones, tre generally found to have the inner edge of the rim, on obverse and reverse, finely milled ; this has not been produced by the dies, as every specimen seen, varies. Possibly C .lames intended it to be regarded as a special example of his handicraft. The obverse die for No. 31 shows the same die flaws as appear on No. 32, but in some instances more developed; and as the rim is closer to the legend than is shown on the specimen from defaced dies, the idea is suggested that the dies were produced from matrices, rather t h a n being, as was usual, each engraved by hand. A punch has been seen which was used to " s i n k " or produce the " head " on some of the Anglesey Tokens.

INTRODUCTION
TO THE

HALFPENNY SECTION.

H E Halfpenny Tokens, as described in this section (Part 5), form a most varied and interesting series, being those of tradesmen chiefly advertising their business, political and satirical Tokens, "mules," made for sale to Collectors, and Private Tokens issued by Collectors, for exchange and as gifts to friends. Of Tokens pertaining to places of amusement, there are those on which appears the figure of the "celebrated ventriloquist" Mr. Joseph Askins ; whose real name was Thomas Haskey; born at Walsall, he lost his leg in the American W a r ; he came to London in 1796. Also those of G. Bayly, T. Hall, the Proprietors of the Lyceum, and Pidcock's Exhibition. Umbrella makers are represented by John Bebbington, of No. 8, City Road. It has been suggested that the bust on the obverse is intended to represent the then Prince of Wales. J. Hancock, of Leather Lane, combined the sale of provincial coins with that of umbrellas. J. and S. Kelly, Patent Whip makers to the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York, included, among other items of trade, the sale of umbrellas. Medicine dealers are represented by Basil Burchell, who issued such a quantity of advertising tokens, that he was ultimately compelled to put on an edge reading, " T H I S I S NOT A COIN
BUT A MEDAL . + . + . + . +

J. Ching stated the price of his wares on his tokens, of which five cwt. were struck, probably for currency. (In a later section will be that of Isaac Swainson.) C. James, who engraved the dies for a number of Tokens, advertises his trade, and uses as a reverse, one of Pidcock's dies. Those of Christopher Ibberson, of the " George and Blue Boar," are of special interest by reason of the rarity of the " small boar " variety. The nineteenth century imitation has a plain edge, in collar; a careful comparison of the illustrations will enable anyone to detect the recent impression.

Charles Pye does not state the issuer of the Mail Coach Halfpenny ; but on one variety are the initials A.F.Hprobably those of Anthony Francis Haldimand, Merchant, of No. 51, St. Mary Axe. James Lackington, and his partners Allen & Co. issued, in all, over seven tons of Tokens. Lackington's Memoirs and also Lackington's Confessions are well worth reading. The Newgate Tokens have reference to the fines and imprisonment of Simmons, Winterbotham, Ridgway and Holt. They were tried and convictedSymonds, for publishing the "Jockey Club," the "Second Part of the Rights of Man," and " Paine's Address to the Addressers " ; Winterbotham, a dissenting minister, for preaching at Plymouth two seditious discourses ; James Ridgway, for the same offence as Symonds ; and Daniel Holt, printer of the Newark Herald, for selling Paine's " Address to the Addressers," and publishing " An Address to the Manufacturers of unrepresented Towns, on a Parliamentary Reform." The Token of Daniel Isaac Eaton refers to his trials for sedition. There is a very rare medal struck to commemorate his acquittal, illustrated and described on page 115. Of Oppenheim's Tokens, Pye states that four cwts. were struck ; if so, it is hard to account for the scarcity. He states that order for Presbury's Tokens was countermanded. Their place of business was No. 9, New Street, Covent Garden. Prattent, along with Denton, published " T h e Virtuoso's Companion." The Tokens, struck at the instance of both, are not included in Pye list, and, being muled with others, may be regarded as " for sale to Collectors" rather than " for currency.'' An interesting series are the Private Tokens, struck for Collectors to present to their friends, and to exchange, for similar specimens, with others. David Alves Rebello, is stated to be the person who first had such struck. A fine representation of the old Hackney Church appears on his, also his initials, which, in a similar style appear on his bookplate. Other issuers of Private Tokens werePeter Anderson, on whose, appear the Arms of the City of London, also his initials ; some of T. and R. Davidson ; also some of Meymott's, were struck from a scarce variety of die, and in different metals, which precludes their being for anything other than private distribution. Robert Orchard had Tokens from dies by Jacobs, also from those by James; those of the former cannot be regarded as presenting a good portrait. The " Smithfield " variety has net been traced ; the writer of " The Bazaar Notes " has an interesting reference to the subject. It is said to be in white-metal, and that the die, or dies, broke; that Matthew Young bought it from James, the engraver. In a London Newspaper of March 10th, 1802, appeared the advertisement: " To the Amateurs of Coins.To be disposed of, Robert Orchard's Smithfield Token, unique; the only one ever coined, mentioned in Conder's ' Arrangement of the Provincial Coins.' Letters addressed, post paid, to A. B. No. 47, Davies Street, Berkley-square, with the price that will be given will be attended to." As white-metal is more liable to damage than copper, it may have suffered defacement, and as a consequence, being regarded as of no value, perhaps has been thrown away. His Token having a view of Islington Old Church, and that with the view of the church at Sawbridgeworth, are the best in the series ; the reverse on the latter is a shepherd reclining under a tree, 1790.

Ratley's Token demands more than a passing comment; by Atkins' note in reference to his No. 347, a different reverse is described as compared with that on No. 348. No specimen is known to correctly comply with the description of No. 347 ; one described as such was sold in 1901, but it was found to be only an ordinary specimen, faultily struck. Other specimens, faultily struck, have appeared: in one instance, the reverse die had turned half-way round, showing two shells, dates, etc., the first being partially obliterated in the second striking. Freaks of this kind should not be regarded as die-varieties; by reason of a die slipping, one of Orchard's appears to be from a different obverse die. Many of Skidmore's " m u l e s " are extremely rare; several from the "Not Local" section of Atkins have been placed here, the same dies being used, and the sequence being such as to warrant it. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins' work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors : Nos. 283ft, 401, 425, 289c 317a, 328, 429, 433, 441a, 495, 496, 329c, 350 Bis. 353 d, 370c, 372c, 373a, 393c, d, 461. 462a, 468a, 4756, 480a, 487, 490, 492a, 4976, 501, a, 504, 506, 517a.

Collectors who have any of these pieces, or meet with them at a later date, will greatly oblige by kindly communicating with us, so that they may be recorded in an Addenda. R. DALTON,

INTRODUCTION.
NOTES O N THE TOKENS OF THIS SECTION

Peter Skidmore, who manufactured tokens for sale to Collectors, is responsible for those with a social and political referenceviz., " T h e Free-born Briton of 1796," " T h e French Republican," and the table on which is shown a chained-up knife, fork and empty plate, with the word " U S E L E S S " above. The series of London Churches and Gates are of such interest, that the wonder is they have not been bought up by visitors to the Metropolis as mementos. Those showing die-flaws are rare to very rare. In some instances the " Coventry " edge, or " Milled " edge, is all but obliterated, by being struck in a collar. Thomas Spence issued tokens, the designs being intended to give publicity to the political sentiments which he advocated. " P i g s ' Meat" referred to the penny weekly publication, " P i g s ' Meat; or, Lessons for the Swinish Multitude." There are three volumes. In vol. 3, he writes from Newgate, High Treason Side, Dec. 17, 1794. He was discharged on the 22nd, untried. This is referred to on the token bearing Spence's profile. A Cat, and a Dog, represent Freedom and Liberty, and Gratitude and Servitude. Antagonism to the payment of rents was exemplified by the Indian, and the legend
" I F R E N T S I ONCE C O N S E N T TO PAY MY L I B E R T Y I S P A S S E D A W A Y . "

The Beginning of Oppression is shown by a representation of Cain killing Abel. A particularly interesting piece is "Pandora's Breeches." That garment is shown as filled with blazing combustibles. This was suggested by the finding of a pair of old breeches filled with combustibles, alight in a closet under the House of Commons. Beneath, is a snake without head, but the head of Dr. Priestley added; this being in reference to the Birmingham Riots ; with which he had no connection whatever, except that of loss.

A portrait of Lord George Gordon, who died in Newgate, Nov. 1, 1793, appears as an obverse; also another without the legend; this is the original impression, the die being afterwards softened, and the legend added. T h e " Marine Society Boy " represents an institution founded to take stray lads and train them for naval service. A Free-born E n g l i s h m a n of 179G is shown very similar to the one on the Skidmore token. An ass is shown bearing two pairs of panniers; the lower ones being labelled the upper ones "
TAX'S." "RENTS,"

" British Liberty Displayed " was represented by a landsman being dragged off by the press-gang. A soldier shaking hands with citizens refers to a passage in " Pigs' Meat," vol. 1, page 72, where the Military Governors said, " T h e people are timid, let us menace t h e m ; they only obey force. Soldiers, chastise this insolent rabble! " And the soldiers, grounding their arms, said to their chiefs, " We are also the people." Minerva standswith legend,
" T R U T H FOR MY HELM AND J U S T I C E FOR MY S H I E L D . " " ONE ONLY MASTER GRASPS T H E WHOLE DOMAIN."

A Village in Ruins has the legend

English Slavery is represented by a very fat m a n shown seated at a table dining. French Liberty (being the contrast), a lean man seated on the floor gnawing a bone. The portrait of Daniel Mendoza, a noted pugilist, appears with two men boxing as a reverse; this being, "
FASHIONABLE AMUSEMENT."

The head of Pitt, and that of Fox, are shown placed conjointly; the former crying, the latter laughing. "
QUIS R I D E S . "

T h e portrait of Thelwall, also that of J . H o m e Tooke a p p e a r ; they having been tried for High Treason, and acquitted. Spence's address was shown by two lads riding on a turnstile. S u m m e r s ' tokens show on the obverse a representation of what is described as " a wild m a n ' s head, from the land of Jesso." was also a perfumer. There are two varieties of the reverse die. Isaac Swainson, the Proprietor of Velno's Vegetable Syrup, at 21, Frith Street, Soho, was the issuer of a very artistic token ; but as the name was incorrectly spelt, the order was cancelled. Only twelve impressions in silver and copper were taken. The issuer kept a museum, or antique s h o p ; he

In a book published by J a m e s Ridgway (of Newgate halfpenny fame), entitled Royal Recollections on a Tour to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, and places adjacent, in the year 1788," George III., who is supposed to be the author, writes" George advised her (Queen Caroline) to send for a box of Velno's Vegetable Syrup. Caroline looked grave and ollended. H e delicately saw her objection, and dexterously placed two holy bishops t h o s e of Peterborough and Llandafifbetween him and his mother, who, he declared recommended it with as much zeal and perseverance as if it were their property." To commemorate the restoration to health of George III., a number of medalets were struck; also some having reference to the Prince Begeut. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors : Nos. 538ft, 566a, 714, 714a, 721, 815, 825b, 826, 573, 611, 626a, 721a, 747, 758, 826a, 840, 846, 948a, 628a, 685, 690, 690a, 697, 698a, 707a, 762a, 790, 794c, 801a, 804, 811, 813, 851i, 856, 859, 872b, 894, 923a, 928c, 946a, 946b.

Collectors who have any of these pieces, or meet with them at a later date, will greatly oblige by kindly communicating with us, so t h a t they may be recorded in an Addenda. R. DALTON,

NOTES ON THE TOKENS

OF THIS SECTION.

N the National Series are those representing the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Prince Regent, and the Duke of York, also a number of " mules," concluding with the King and Queen of France. These and the mules with which they are connected, are from dies used for some of the tokens by Skidmore. In the Political and Social Section are the following : The British Commercial Halfpenny. This is a beautiful specimen, and, along with the " P e n n y " and "Quarterpenny," form a very desirable set. An aged, and a youthful clergyman, are represented by the portrait of the Rev. W. Romaine, M.A., and that of W. Cooper aged 20 years. " S i r " Harry Dimsdale, a muffin hawker, succeeded " S i r " Jeffery Dunstan, as mock " Mayor of Garrat." He is depicted on the token as with his muffin basket, and bell. Erskine and Gibbs, John Home Tooke, and Thomas Hardy (the latter was Secretary to the London Corresponding Society) are represented, and reference to the trial, and the verdict of the jury, appears on the tokens. The portrait of Sir Isaac Newton, at one time Master of the Royal Mint, appears on both halfpence and farthings. The sentiments of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery appear 011 a series of tokens, the obverse being of a similar design to that of the seal of the Society. Little need here be stated in reference to the Farthings, they being chiefly miniatures of the Halfpence; yet a collection of the Half-halfpence and Farthings of the 18th Century is one full of interest, and well worth acquiring. James Powell, wine merchant of Monmouth and Abergavenny, issued 1-cwt. for each town.

The Marie Pit token for 3 pence is of penny size, issued as a means of paying the work men. The marie being used for agricultural purposes, has perhaps suggested the concluding portion of the legend. The Lynn token is one made for sale to collectors. The name of the supposed issuer does not appear in the Directory for 1790, neither is there any mention of a corn merchant or factor. It is a very rare specimen. The Norwich section has two having reference to the military. Some of the tradesmen's tokens have the City Arms; others, emblems of the trade of the issuers. Richard Dinmore and Son, on their tokens show a bottle, with the legend, F E W E R T A X E S a sentiment which all will be prepared to endorse.
MOKE TRADE

AND

Dunham and Yallop, goldsmiths, had on the upper portion of the door, as shown 011 the tokens, the word TEAScertainly an unusual combination at the piesent time. Weaving being one of the local trades, John Harvey shows a man at work in a loom, on his tokens. A Private TokenHardingham, a musicianhas on the obverse a view of Norwich Cathedral; the reverse being the bust of Handel. Of these about four dozen were struck, some with lettered edge, some plain. A very rare variety has the reverse from a die on which the hair is some distance from the ear; there are also other distinctive marks; it is this variety which occurs with the " Coventry Buildings." In reference to the token of Boulter's Exhibition, etc., the following appears in the Universal British Directory : " Another object, well worthy the attention of persons visiting Yarmouth, is the extensive museum of Dr. Boulter. " T h e first room contains a number of valuable pictures, prints; British, Roman, Saxon, and English coins and medals ; books, and curious missals. " The second room is appropriated to natural productions, animal, vegetable, and mineral, including fossil substances of almost every description. " The third room has particularly a collection from the South Seas, brought over by Captain Cook, and other voyagers, consisting of dresses, ornaments, tools, and utensils, the inventions of the natives. The collection is the result of over twenty-five years' assiduous attention, and is now the property of Mr. John Boulter, who continues to make additions. Company is admitted at any hour of the day on paying Is. each." John Boulter was a goldsmith and jeweller; Joseph Boulter, a confectioner.

The Coaly Tyne series are muled with the dies of those issued by Thomas Spence, of London, previously of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Of the Newcastle " Racing Ticket," there is a specimen struck over a halfpenny of 1799. The North Shields token is a fine specimen, made for sale to Collectors. The Farthings are muled with the dies of others of London. The series of tokens of Davison and Hawksley, of Arnold Works, Nottingham, are of fine design and workmanship. The writer of the "Bazaar Notes" states that the design of the obverse is that of the Golden Fleece in the Garden of the Hesperides; that of the reverse is indicative of freedom and unity. A view of Newstead Abbey is on a penny token of Thomas Gorton, of London, made for sale to Collectors. The tokens of Donald and Co. were payable at Nottingham or Birmingham. The issuer of the Banbury token was a printer who published penny chap-books ; his portrait appears on the obverse, and a representation of the Seal of the town, with the motto as a legend, on the reverse. The portrait of Charles II., and a view of the famous Oak of Boscobel, appear on a rare token, from dies by Westwood, made for sale to Collectors. The Coalbrookdale tokens present a view of the first iron bridge, which was made at the ironworks about a mile further up the valley ; the design on the reverse represents the inclined plane at Ketley, invented by William Reynolds, for conveying iron ore and coals from the level of Oakengates to that of Ketley, an elevation of 66 feet. The Shrewsbury tokens refer to the West of England " Woollen Manufactory."

The Bath series is interesting by reason of the number of local buildings which are illustrated, also by the reference on a token to the debtors in Ilchester Gaol; this was issued by William Gye, who is described as a printer, and Agent to the Debtors in Ilchester Gaol. Bladud, who is said to have founded Bath, also King Alfred, who re-founded it in A.D. 900, and surrounded it with walls and towers, are represented. The tokens of Crewkerne, Dunkirk, and Yeovil have reference to the woollen industry. Richard Wright, of Lichfield, on his Private token, perpetuates the memory of Richard Greene, a local antiquary and collector, and shows on the reverse a view of the ^ e s t l o i c h of the Cathedral. Horton and Co., of Stafford, issued pennies and halfpennies, of handsome design; of the latter one ton were struck. The Private tokens of John Harding, of Tamwortli, have a very fine lettered edge in double lines, on three labels, between which are representations of the implements used in calico printing. Charles Pye does not inform us as to the issuers of the Leek tokens. "Bazaar Notes" suggests that Ford and Philips were probably the issuers. manufacturers. A token bearing the portrait of Dr. Samuel Johnson is one of those made for sale. The Rev. Francis Blick, Vicar and Curate of Tain worth, issued the Private tokens of "Church and Castle"; the former being some distance beyond the castle. issuer is in the possession of the writer. The Tipton token is one made for sale. is a rare one. The Lichfield farthing tokens have on the reverse a reference to an interesting local event taking place on Whit-Monday. S Prentice, of Bungay, made the dies for his halfpenny tokens do duty for striking pennies, by using thicker blanks, and by stating on the edge that such was a Double token. P. Deck, of Bury St. Edmunds, perpetuated the memory of Marquis Cornwallis on a penny token; he also issued some for a halfpenny. The tokens of James Conder, a draper of Ipswich, represent Cardinal Wolsey, also various local buildings of interest. currency. The token of R. Loder has no statement of currency value; the design being a portrait of Thomas Sckford, and his arms. The pennies were Private tokens ; the halfpennies were or T. Bevan's token, which advertises his trade, A portrait of the The writer ot the They were silk

We are not informed as to the issuer of the Beccles halfpenny token, on which is a view of the church tower and a bridge ; the latter now replaced with a more modern one. The Military tokens are those of Hoxne and of Blything ; the former, on larger Hans, penny s.ze, but from the halfpenny dies ; the latter, were issued by Sir John Rous, Bart, senior captain of the troop. (See " Bazaar Notes.") Thomas Miller, a bookseller of Bungay, issued 21 Private tokens ; then the die or dies Charles Pye states that a specimen had been sold at 2 12s. 6d.

tailed.

The dies of the Bungay halfpennies were used for striking a number of blanks, the edge reading of which has no connection with Bungay. Charles Pye has the following statement _ Mr. I rentice, to make scarce varieties, and puzzle the Collectors, has mixed these dies and striking them with a variety of edges not worth enumerating." An edge-reading may be a feature of importanceas on the token of Henry Biggs of irmingham, of which six only with that edge are k n o w n - o r it may only be, what most odd edge-readings are, viz., a wrong blank that has been used, inadvertently, or specially to make a variety. Collectors are advised to exercise discretion in this matter. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors :

Of Boorman's tokens, of East Grinstead, 5 tons were struck. Three cwts. of tokens were issued by J. Tebay (or Tebays), ironmonger, appraiser, and auctioneer, of Hastings; whether he was owner of the vessel depicted on the token, or not, is uncertain. The tokens of Horsham were made for sale to Collectors. of six different " mules " previously unrecorded. The " C a t " variety was one

Of the Northiam tokens, John Foller issued 3 cwts., and G. Gilbert, 2 cwts. Charles Pye informs us that the token of G. Bennett, of Rye, was intended as a Private token for the late Mr. Tysson, but he did not approve of it. Thirty only were struck; the obverse die broke. The Winchelsea tokens were by the same issuer as the Brighton Camp H a l f p e n n i e s Richard Maplesden. With the Warwickshire tokens, a series of a most interesting character is commenced. Those of the Birmingham Workhouse; Two Shillings and Sixpence, to One Shilling, and including the Halfpenny token, issued by J. Alston, (Charles Pye states that these were manufactured by Ivempson ; the Rev. W. R. Hay, M.A., has a manuscr.pt note by which he informs us that Ivempson and Nevill were successors to Alston, or Wilmore, Alston and Co. button makers, Bread Street, Newhall Street,) form a fitting series, to be followed by those of the 19th Century. The Penny bearing the monogram of Peter Keinpson was not regarded by Pye, as a currency specimen ; it can only be regarded as of a " Private " character, " for exchange. The political tokens of the Greatheads and the Loggerheads, have reference to local incidents much too lengthy to be entered into now. Thomas Johnson and Isaac Perrins fought a prize fight at Banbury. currency tokens, being more of the nature of medals. They are not

The work of that artist, John Gregory Hancock, Junr., as shown on the tokens of George Barker and Thomas Welch, is of a most surprising character. Pye records that Hancock s father made an affidavit that they were entirely engraved by Ins son, who wasi born^ 0 n the 24th June, 1791. The Warwickshire Yeomanry are presented to us on private tokens of 1 homas Welch. The presentation of colours to the Birmingham Association on June 4th, 1798, is recorded on a token or medalet. The portrait of John Freeth, " The Birmingham Poet," appears on a Penny token. He kept a tavern in Bell Street, known as Freeth's Cofifee House, where met a social gioup whose portraits appear in the " Memoir" of James Bisset. Benjamin Jacob is recorded as being a chaser, engraver, auctioneer, and appraiser; his token adds the description of ironmonger. The portrait of Joseph Priestley, the scientist, appears on some medals, with a representation on the reverse, of some scientific apparatus. The medal, with the legend, OUR FOOD IS SEDITION, was struck after the Birmingham c Riots and by implication refers to Dr. Priestley, who, however, had no ling cause of the riot, he being out of Birmingham on the 14th of July, 1 * f thTlJastile being held at the Royal Hotel to celebrate the second anniversary of the stoimm D ot the lUstile at Paris. A printed circular was published describing the medal.

In the second hardening of the die" it cracked (see the flaw by the date); six only were struck. Then with the new reverse die 1 a P en > mk-bottle, and open book18 impressions were taken. Joseph Farror issued the Warwickshire tokens, 1791. Ten tons in all of which about 4 cwt. were struck in collar. Ihose dated 1792 were made for sale to Collectors. The portrait is almost identical with that on the " Stratford Promissory Halfpenny." Charles Pye records that 1 ton of the Birmingham Halfpennies, 1793, were struck No issuer is recorded; possibly Kempson manufactured them to sell to anyone needing tokens for g currency. The " mules " were made for sale to Collectors. , ,, T h P r i v a t e tokens of George Barker, including the Pennies already referred to testifv to the interest which he, at the age of 22, took in the subject.

John Clarke, perfumer, of Bull Street, issued 36 Private tokens. Charles Pye says " Dies broke, many bad." Wyon "was the die-sinker, and Kempson the manufacturer. The design and workmanship are very fine. The specimen bearing the names of Mrs. Eves, Mrs. Pope, and Miss Eves is probably a medalet of reward; they kept a school at the Crescent, Birmingham. Samuel Garbett was a refiner, his place of business being in Steelhouse Lane. Of the tokens of William Hallan, the one with the die flaw on the reverse is the only one riven bv Charles Pye as for currency; he adds" There are some infamous counterfeits struck in London for sale." The design of the original is such that it leaves very much to be desired. The one bearing his portrait is much better; the others are " mules.

Ivempson's Birmingham Buildings, from dies by Wyon, have four varieties of reverses. T THE I<jth Century, John Ottley, medallist, engraved new reverse dies which bear his name; om these and Wyon's obverse dies, with the exception of St. John's Chapel, Der.tend, Sir George' Chetwynd had some specimens struck, silver gilt. There are also specimens in copper and white-metal. I n some instances the edge-reading is almost, if not entirely obliterated by the pressure brought on to the dies, which forces the metal tightly against the plain collar; the lettering being indented on the blanks previous to such being " struck."

The reverse shows s L J s shop and the Head Inn adjoining, but which now occupies the whole site.

The design of some of the reverse dies not being approved of, a few only were struck. i e i j n o l r o f Thomas Sharp appears in a scarce publication, "Coventry n 0 t P U b h s L e d tiU s o m e ?LP years a f t e r death ; the original edition some fifty years previous to 1871, the date of the present one. Only twelve original were printed for private distribution ; obviously they did not contain the The Meriden token and " m u l e s " were made for sale to Collectors. W i , W e b b s token, of which only 48 were struck, as one die broke, can only be assienpd to Warwickshire on the authority of Conder; there is a Newton in Lancashire where at t h S time, the woollen trade would probably be more in evidence than in Warwickshire. There is no evidence as to the issuer of the Nuneaton token. Those of Stratford, and the " m u l e s , " were struck for Collectors.
J h n A

Antiauities " was t i n t e d copies of the " Memoir.'

The note as to the arrangement of the Wilkinson tokens indicates the points to be noticed for comparison. It is also advisable, not only in reference to this section, but also when other long series occur, to note where a line, being a continuation of the down-stroke of a certain letter, cuts the central figure. The tokens of Macclesfield, and those of the Parys Mines Co., are notable examples. There are three different books dealing with John Wilkinson, viz., " The Wilkinsons," by John Randall, F.G.S.; " J o h n Wilkinson and the Old Bersham Iron Works, by A N Palmer, and lately published ; " John Wilkinson, Ironmaster, ' by H. W. Dickinson, A . M . I . M E C H . E . , Ulverston, 1 9 1 4 . The interesting incidents connected with this noted man are far too numerous to be entered upon here ; if nothing else, his " iron vessel would alone render him worthy of a niche in the temple of numismatic fame. The Warwickshire Farthings and Half-halfpence call for no comment, being generally of similar design to the Halfpence. There is perhaps one exception, viz., the reverse of the Copper Company s Farthing " May a flowing: trade follow a speedy and honourable peace, 1796." " A consummation devoutly to be wished." Charles Pve includes the Kendal Halfpennies, and incidentally, refers to impressions having been taken on Penny flans. The name of issuer is not stated. There is a degree of similarity between the design of these tokens and those of Chester, Macclesfield and Bungay. Besides these there are two " mules." Lamb, of Bath, had 14 lbs. of the " Wiltshire Yeomanry Cavalry " tokens struck. Ten cwt. of the tokens of J . Baster, of Devizes, were struck. He was a brewer, and as such is described in the Universal British Directory, 1790. The breeches and glove manufactory was probably a later undertaking. At the period, Holt was described as a village with a parish church. Charles Pye only records the first and second varieties; as those from the reverse die after alteration were " muled " with other dies, the probability is that such was a manufacturer s speculation for sale to Collectors ; as also were all those under the Salisbury heading, except the last, on which the Cathedral is represented, of which 5 cwt. were issued by J. and T. Sharpe, grocers. The first of the Worcestershire tokens is referred to by the writer of the " Bazaar Notes as " another of the mysterious class of pieces devised to perplex Collectors. The edge-reading is the common one on the London and Westminster tokens issued by Prattent, for sale to Collectors. Edward Davies was an ironmonger. It is worth noting that these tokens are not included in Charles Pye's work, also that worn specimens do not occur, also that they are rare t e inference is that they were either a kind of Private tokens, or were the product of some ol the London dealers, struck for the same purpose as the Worcester Penny. The Evesham token is a " Private " one issued by T. Thompon, Esq., M.P. for Evesham in 1796. Sixty were struck, three in gold. The reverses of the Dudley Halfpence will be readily recognised as from Spence's dies, and as the same had been used by Skidmore, he probably was responsible for these, as also tor the Kidderminster tokens, and either Skidmore or Spence for the Hagley tokens.

*> bo i S L S "LVdtob7chlSorp/ '0,Te T fr*,* <*>* 7 the fact that it was illustrated by" Prat tent a c ^ ^ ^ m a n s h i p , and s ee 1i9 5 f J r r a u e n t a his production.

Henry Brownbill was a watch-maker in Briggate; his descendants occupied the shop till towards the end of the 19th century. The Mixed-cloth Hall, erected by voluntary subscription among the clothiers in 1758, is represented oil the token. The first illustrated is an extremely rare variety. The obverse die appears to have developed slight cracks in hardening, the reverse is quite different from any others. The root of each building is not shown tiled. In addition to the varieties of the genuine tokens, there is * " m u l e , " which appears to have been softened before being used, as is evident by the surface of the token. Richard Paley was a tallow chandler in the Calls ; he issued 5 tons of tokens. In the Leeds Intelligencer," Aug. 29th, 1803, is a notice of sale of property held on lease by Mr. Richard Paley. (By order of his Assignees.) There are three " mules " of this series. Hands was the die-sinker, and also the manufacturer of the " Yorkshire Halfpenny.' The writer of the " B a z a a r Notes" suggests that as the Sheffield Cutlers Company appear o the Averse, possibly the bust on the obverse may have been intended to represent the master cutler at that time. The one showing a blacksmith and strikers at work is poorly designed and executed. Those with four hands conjoined is an improvement. The York tokens do not bear the name -of an issuer, but as Cattle, B ^ ^ r a n d C a t t l e issued medals dated 1796, of the same d e s i g n we may reasonably presume they were tb iesuers. There are four " mules " connected with this series. Ben Hobson, havdwareman, of the Pavement, York, issued tokens3 s t r a A on 'brass flans. They do not bear any indication of value, and are more in the form of a medalet than a tok . James Carlisle issued 200 of each of his tokens. Although one is designated York

was the manufacturer. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority^of Atkins' work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors.

ARRANGEMENT

OF

THE

WILKINSON

SERIES

OF

TOKENS.

These are divided into three sectionsviz., Barge, Forge and Vulcan. Each section will commence with the genuine issue, and follow with the counterfeits and misspelt pieces, instead of describing the pieces as being ribbed or smooth coat, turned down collar, or two or three buttons on coat, which is sometimes very difficult to follow especially if the pieces happen to be worn. The mode of identification will bewith or without period on obv., the position of the period or the R to the waistcoat, the rev. by the position and shape of the figures of date, and not by the flames in the forge. This, with the illustrations, should enable any pieces to be easily identified.

H E tokens of the P a r y s Mines Company m a y well be considered the " p r e m i e r tokens of the E i g h t e e n t h C e n t u r y t h e first, chronologically; a long way the first by the quantity issued : Charles Pye states t h a t at least '250 tons of pennies, and about 50 tons of halfpence.

Issued as they were, by a copper m i n i n g company, which had its existence as a n outcome of the natural talent of a silk twist m a n u f a c t u r e r , Charles Roe, of Macclesfield, and his partners in the copper industry, viz., Robert Hodson, Brian Hodson, Roland Atkinson, J o h n Walker, Joseph Stockdale, and Cookson Atkinson; the tokens have also a sentimental interest, by reason of their association with the P a r y s M i n e ; the story of which, and of the discovery of the vein of copper as n a r r a t e d in the Universal Directory of 1790, is as follows: ( iii )

THE

IN

1913.

" At Trysclwyn mountain, is the most considerable body of copper-ore perhaps ever known. The part of Trysclwyn which contains it is called Parys Mountain. In the year 1762, Alexandei Frazier came into Anglesey in search of mines. " He visited Parys Mountain; called on Sir Nicholas Bayley, and gave him so flattering an account of the project, as induced him to make a trial, and sink shafts. Ore was discovered, but before any quantity could be gotten, the mines were overpowered with water. " In about two years after, Messrs. Roe and Co. of Macclesfield, applied to Sir Nicholas for a lease of Penrhyn-ddu mine in Caernarvonshire; with which they were, much against their wills, compelled to take a lease of part of this mountain, and to carry on a level, and make a fair trial. " The trial was accordingly made, ore was discovered, but the expenses overbalanced the They continued working at great loss, and at length determined to give the affair up.

profits.

" T h e y gave their agent orders for that purpose, but he, as a final attempt, divided his men into ten several companies of three or four in partnership, and let them sink shafts in various places, about 800 yards eastwards of a place called the Golden \ enture, on a piesumption that a spring, which issued from near the place, must come from a body ot mineral. " His conjecture was right, for in less than two days, they met with, at the depth of seven feet from the surface, the solid material, which proved to be that vast body which has since been worked to such advantage.

" The day of the discovery was March '2nd, 1768, which has ever since been observed as a festival by the miners. " Soon after this discovery, another adventure was begun by the Rev. Mr. Edward Hughes, owner of part of the mountain, in right of his wife, Mary Lewes, of Lilys Dulas; so that the whole of the treasure is the property of Sir Nicholas Bayley and himself. " The thickness has been ascertained by driving a level under, in some places twentyfour yards." In addition to the blocks of actual copper-ore, the water which was impregnated with copper, was at that time, as is now the practice, run into rectangular wooden tanks, some thirty-six feet long by twelve to fifteen feet wide, by twenty inches deep, in which is scrap iron of any kind; this attracts the copper, and as the iron rusts away, yellow ochre is formed. A striking feature of the Parys Mine is the vast open "quarry," for as such it appeared when visited by the writer in 1909 and again in 1913. There are two mines : one was the property of Lord Uxbridge, this was known as the Mona Mine; the other, viz., the Parys Mine, was the joint property of Lord Uxbridge and the Rev. Edward Hughes. At that time, about 1200 miners were employed, who worked by the piece, and earned from one shilling, to twenty-pence per day.

SACRED MR. TO THE MEMORY ROOSE, OF SARAH, THE 2ND WIFE OF THE 22ND, LATE 1847.

JONATHAN

MILLBANK, WHO AGED

DIED

DECEMBER

73 YEARS.

In the church are some tablets to members of the family who held important positions. On one of the oldest dated stones is the following :" John Parrie Gent, interred the 1 day November 1620. Richard Parry, Gent, interred Aug 30, 1662. Robert Parry Esq was interred 5 of October 1686." These references are interesting, as the Parys Mountain received its name from Robert Parys, the Chamberlain of North Wales in the time of Henry IV; he is said to have lived at the old house Madyn, above the doorway of which is a quaintly carved device, dated 1520. The names of three persons appear on the lettered-edge of the patterns from dies by Miltonviz., that of the Rev. Edward Hughes, to whom mention has already been made, and whose portrait, and that of his wife, are, by the kindness of the Lady Neave, of Llys Dulas, here illustrated; that of Thomas Williams, formerly an attorney at Llanedan, and Member of Parliament for Great Marlow, Bucks., afterwards for Anglesey; also John Dawes. Parys Lodge is stated by the Rev. T. Prichard, of Amlwch, to have been the residence of some of the agents of the mine. Possibly it was used as the office at the time of the issue of the tokens ;
( vii )

though the writer of the " Bazaar Notes " refers to it as the local residence of the Rev. Edward Hughes ; another residence was Greenfield Hall, near Holywell. The word " G R E E N F I E L D appears on the edge-reading of a very rare variety of halfpenny. According to the writer of the "Bazaar Notes," the lease of Messrs. C. Roe and Co. expired about 1792. Charles Roe, the leading partner in the " Company " was a remarkable man ; Christ Church, Macclesfield, was built at his expense. In the chancel is a very fine memorial tablet to his memory, which is here illustrated; the inscription is as follows:

As regards the tokens dated 1784, there was, at the time the " Bazaar Notes " were published, some difference of opinion as to whether they should be regarded as genuine specimens, or as fabricated ones. As no notice of such a token appears in the Gentleman's Magazine till 1787 when a full description is given, and an illustrationthe probability is, those dated 1784 were not struck till a later date when collections were being formed, and when this would appear as an " unpublished" date. The Rev. W. R. Hay. M.A., Vicar of Rochdale, in a manuscript note, states, in reference to the very rare varietywith the names of Edward Hughes, Thomas Williams, and John Dawes, around the edge"This, commonly called the Monogram Penny, was, I believe, the first attempt made for an Anglesea coin ; it was executed by Milton, in the Tower, and after a very few were struck, the die of the monogram was broken." In another note he states" Mr. Collins, of Maize Hill, Greenwich, a gentleman much employed by the Parys Mines Company, made a drawing of the 4 3D Penny, and sent the design to Hancock. This was the second; the monogram was the first of all, which was probably designed by Mr. Collins. Mr. Hay adds" I believe the 1 I D ' Pennies were never put into circulation, but were given as presents." The statement that " the ' Monogram P e n n y ' was executed by Milton, in the Tower," is somewhat erroneous. Milton engraved the dies, but the tokens were struck by Westwood ; it was the fact of the failure of the die, which gave young Westwood the opportunity to make the imitation tokens which so closely resemble the originals. Charles Pye informs us that be also "fabricated a halfpenny for sale." This is the one with the same edge-reading as the penny, from dies by Milton, viz., Edw. Hughes, etc. ; also that Hancock was the die-sinker for the pennies of 1787 and 1788, and all the halfpennies, 1788, 1789, 1790 and 1791, except those of the heavy design, and with short letters of the monogram. All were manufactured at a Mint erected by the Parys Mines Co. in Birmingham. The pennies of 1790, having on the reverse ANGLESEY MINES PENNY, and the heavily designed halfpennyall of which have as an edge-reading, PAYABLE X IN X LONDON X OR X ANGLESEY were from dies by Wilson, and manufactured by Williams; both die-sinker and manufacturer were of London. The beauty of the designs, and the artistic finish of the workmanship oi the patterns, place them far above any regal copper currency. The quiet dignity of the features of the Druid as depicted on the obverse of the ID pennies, is pleasing to contemplate; surrounded as it is by a particularly realistic representation of an oak wreath, it suggests a period when Anglesey was the home of the Druids. The pattern of 1787, with the large head, presents a striking specimen of the die-sinker's art, in very high relief, so much so, as to be unsuitable lor currency. The Anglesey Mines Penny of 1790 has a smaller type of head, within a well designed thin wreath; this is extremely rare. There is a very close copy with " w " on the truncation of bust; the obverse die for this token was used with several others to make mules. A very beautiful specimen, with a head in bold relief, has a different type of reverse; the first stroke of m is used as the down stroke of P, and the last, as the curve forming c. On the downstrokes of the monogram, in minute letters, incuse, are the words, PARYS MINES COMPANY. The lightness, and symmetry of the design class it " a thing of beauty."
( x )

A specimen not mentioned by Cornier, Pye or Sharp, dated 1788, has the monogram /' M S. The final letter is formed of one thin curved line, and may possibly be intended to be the final letter of "Mines " ; the ' Co." being entirely omitted. They only appear as patterns. Even the currency specimens, where the design is in lower relief, appealed so strongly to the public, that the "tokens were readily accepted; in fact, when copper advanced in value, they were worth more to melt up than to pass on as currency. The proofs of the halfpence command the attention of collectors, equally with those of the pennies, some very beautiful specimens of the die-sinker's art appearing in the patterns. On the undated ones, also on those of 1787, one of 1788, 1789 and 1792, the initials on the reverse, take more of the actual form of a monogram, than on those where each letter is, of itself, perfectly formed ; the inscribed monograms represent very special die-sinking, viz., the cutting of the small letters on the die, rather than in it, by removing the surrounding material, and thus leaving the letters expressed. The pattern for 1792 is particularly fine. As with the dies of the pennies, so with those of the halfpennies, others were used to strike mules, to sell to collectors. The half halfpence are from dies by Westwood; they, and all the mules of the farthings, were manufactured by Skidmore, for sale to collectors. Probably, the Anglesey farthings with O B on the reverse, were made to sell to any who wished to buy small change, of such a character as would not be likely to be returned to them for redemption.

WALES.
There is no information as to who were the issuers of the tokens of North and South Wales, although several tons were struck; probably they were sold to any who wished to have tokens to pay, but for the return of which they would not be responsible. John Morgan, of Carmarthen, Iron-master and Tin-plate Manufacturer, issued five tons of his tokens. The artist's proofs are exceedingly rare. The Bangor token is not regarded as a currency specimen ; it was probably made for sale by Gorton. The Glamorgan tokens were from dies by J. S. Jordan, of Birmingham, for his father, John Jordan, Victualler, of Weaman Street, Birmingham. One ton were struck ; only a few specimens were struck of the rare variety, as the die broke, a Haw being visible by the crown on the obverse. In comparing the obverse of the rare variety with that of the common variety, it will be found that the common variety was the first to be struck ; then the obverse die was softened, and the small additions made on each side of the dot, or period, at the beginning and end of the legend. There are also some small die-flaws by the date on the obverse, which establish the fact that the die was altered before the rare variety was struck. The reverse die also was softened and altered ; the pedestal, on which a crown appears, was erased, and one with a square top substituted ; on close examination, the top of the crown is still to be seen above the top of the pedestal; a rope has been added extending from the top of the mast, to the knee of the female. A dot appears on each side of the date in exergue. ( )

The writer of the " Bazaar Notes " has a long and interesting statement as to the history of Jestyn ap Gurgan, the last Prince and Lord of Glamorgan of British blood. The King or Prince of Glamorgan formerly paid tribute to the King of North Wales as superior Regulus, but subsequently to the King of London, or Supreme Lord of Britain. Jestyn, having obtained the aid of Robert Fitzhamon against Rhys ap Tewdwr, a prince of South Wales, was victorious ; but, as Fitzhamon then turned on his ally and conquered him, he became Lord of Glamorgan. Jestyn fled, and, it is said, died in the Monastery of Llangenys, in Monmouthshire. The legend on the reverse is intended to mean " The King by Law.' should have been " c." The letter " G

The writer of the " Bazaar Notes " i s in error in thinking that the reverse die broke, and that the " second one " had a crown on the pedestal; for, as already has been shown, there was only one obverse die, and one reverse, both being softened and altered after the ton of tokens had been struck. The tokens of John Voss, of Swansea, present a view of the Castle, built towards the close of the 14th century. The Key on the reverse may have some reference to the Key of the ruins of the Castle, for one of the only two issuers of 17th century tokens of SwanseaMatthew Davieshad a lease granted of the Castle, for the period of the lives of three children, at an annual rental of 40 shillings. There is another reason assigned for the appearance of the Key on the reverse of the token, viz., that it was the trade sign of John Voss, who was a draper and mercer, in the Market Square, at the sign of the Golden Key; and still anotherthat Swansea was the " Key of England." A view of the Castle and also a representation of the " Key silver tokens of John Voss, issued in 1811. appear on the shilling,

INTRODUCTION.
NOTES ON THE TOKENS OF THIS SECTION.

H E Scotch tokens are remarkable as including some very well designed and executed specimens; also some, extremely plain and uninteresting, particularly the retailers' and traders' Farthings. ... f. Z l n Centurywhich have been included by reason of their close association with the 18th Century s e r i e s - a r e chiefly leaden, and as a result, in poor condition; the wonder is, that such were ever accepted as currency, they being so liable to be counterfeited. Those aving the reference letter " D , " have been described in the work on the "Token Coinage of the 19th Century," hy W. J. Davis. James Wright, Junr., of Perth, was the designer of the Dundee Shillings, the Dundee Penny, and the following Halfpenny t o k e n s i s s u e d by Alex. Molison, John Pilmer, Alex. Swap & Co.; the Dudhope Castle; the four varieties of tokens issued by John Steele, of Forfar; the three varieties of those issued by Anderson, Leslie & Co., of Edinburgh; the "Register Office" tokens; tokens issued by John Ferrier, and the Private token; also the three varieties of the Perth. It will be remembered that he wrote " Observations on Coins," being an Introduction to the Virtuoso's Companion. He also wrote the Preface to Conder's Work on Tokens, but died before it was published. R. Boog, Junr., designed a number of penny size tokens; being private ones for gifts to friends, etc. The Aberdeen token, though described in Atkins' as a " Rare Private token," is one by Denton, for sale to Collectors. Of the Dundee Shilling in silver and copper, only a few proofs were struck. Of the Dundee Penny, 5 cwt. were struck for T. Webster, Junr. die-sinker, Kempson the manufacturer. Willets was the

The rare Private token, having on the obverse a portrait of Admiral Lord Duncan, was esigned by Wright. The only apparent connection between the design of the obverse and reverse, is, that an increased population would tend to provide men for the navy.

There is no statement as to the issuer of the Farthing tokens of Dundee, on which a sentinel appears. Willets was the die-sinker, Kempson the manufacturer. 1 cwt. were struck. T Gorton of London, was the issuer of the Penny token of Argyle House. The die broke, and only three specimens are stated to have been struck. With the same reverse die, another token was struck, the obverse being a view of Inverary Castle. Both were made for sale to Collectors. Milton was both die-sinker and manufacturer of the 576 tokens lor Colonel 1' ullerton.

( ")

Two years later, there was the issue bearing the portrait of the Prince of Wales. Dies were engraved for a half-crown, shilling, and sixpence ; but as the design of the reverse was somewhat similar to that of the regal shilling and sixpence, Sir Joseph Banks gave it as his opinion that they could not be legally circulated, despite the statement that the permission of the Prince Regent had been obtained. Hence, except for a few impressions on thin flans, from the shilling dies, impressions from the others were not taken till at a later period, when they came into the possession of Matthew Young, when specimens were struck in silver, white-metal, and copper-bronzed; also in gold, from the dies for the sixpence. The reverse die of Swainson token was used with the obverse die of Fullerton Shilling to make the mule. Obverse and reverse both show traces of die corrosion. Only a few proofs were struck of the small tokens bearing the portrait of Adam Smith. It is difficult to decide what sentiment the design of the reverse is intended to convey. The Kirkcaldy Penny tokens may be regarded as Private tokensthat is, struck for the designer, R. Boog, Junr., as gifts to friends, or for exchange. Wyon was the die-sinker, Ivempson the manufacturer. Boog was also the designer of the two Paisley Pennies, both of which are very fine specimens of the die-sinker's art; these also are Private tokens, and very rare. The Burntisland Vitriol Company issued 3 cwt. of tokens, from dies by Dixon. Lutwyche was the manufacturer. The tokens of Mackintosh, Inglis & Wilson call for little comment except in reference to the motto on the stone, viz.: CLACH NA CUDDEN. The writer of the " Bazaar Notes " states that this stone was formerly in the middle of the street, at the foot of the town cross. The inhabitants when fetching water from the river Ness, used wooden buckets, known as "stoups"; a " s t o u p " being known as a " c u d d e n " ; the stone, as "clach"; and as the stone was used as a resting place for the "stoups," it was known as " clach-na-cudden"the stone of the "stoup," or " water-tub." The Lock Leven Penny is from dies by Wyon, and was manufactured by Kempson for sale to Collectors. Unfortunately there is no connection between the " antient Scottish washing" and the historical ruin where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. Of the Gatehouse tokens, 30 cwt. were struck from dies by Davies ; Waring being the manufacturer. The Glasgow Penny is an impression from the halfpenny dies on a large flan. The design of both obverse and reverse call for some comment. The arms of Glasgow are very ancient, and are attributed to St. Kentigern, who is said to have founded a small religious establishment on the banks of a tributary of the Clyde, where the City now stands, and that he hung a bell upon a tree near by, to call the worshippers. ( iii )

Now as to the "fish" and the " r i n g " : This refers to a certain queen who, tradition states, carried on an intrigue with a soldier, and gave to him a ring which she had received from the king. This ring was afterwards taken from the soldier while he slept, and, by the king was thrown into the Clyde, who later demanded its production by the queen; she, in her difficulty consulted the Saint, who had a newly caught fish brought, in which was found the ring, and thereby the king's suspicions were allayed. But there appears a bird perched on a branch of the tree, to which no reference is made in the foregoing note. Another version is given in a manuscript note by the late Rev. W. R. Hay, M.A., vicar of Rochdale : " The arms of Glasgow area tree in full leaf, a bird at the top of it, a bell hanging from the tree, and a salmon with a ring in its mouth. The story: A man promised marriage to a servant cook, and after having bought the wedding ring, refused to marry her. On her upbraiding him, he threw the ring over the bridge into the Clyde, and promised that if she found and brought it to him he would marry her. Some time after, in gutting a salmon for dinner, she found the ring in i t ; on which she claimed the promise, and her lover married her." " The tree is the woman ready to be married ; the bird at the top, her lover who would not come down ; the bell, that which should have rang for their marriage; and the salmon, that which swallowed the ring." The following lines are current in Scotland on the subject:
" Here's a tree Here's a bird Here's a bell And here's a that never grew, that never flew, that never rung, drunken salmon."

The salmon is described as " drunken " because it appears as floating on its back, this being the position of a dead fish in water. The design of the reverse represents a river god reclining on an urn, from which water is issuing; the urn is inscribed CLYDE ; the legend refers to the Clyde never drying up. The initials below the date (RD) are probably those of Roger Dixon, die-sinker, of Birmingham. Several tons of tokens were struck for Gilbert Shearer & Co., at the Soho Mint. The writer of the " Bazaar Notes," and Thomas Sharp, state Droz to be the die-sinker. Charles Pye omits to give the artist's name. The tokens were counterfeited, and a number of mules struck. Of the Farthings, provision dealers and tobacconists appear to be the principal issuers. The tokens of Anderson, Leslie & Co. are from dies by Wyon, and were manufactured by Kempson. J. Wright, Junr., being the designer.
( iv )

Of the very rare variety, only about twelve were struck, as the obverse die broke. With the new obverse die, two reverse dies were used, of very similar design; which design is appropriate, in that a botanic garden and collection of specimens of plants is connected with the University; also by reason of the issuers being seedsmen, nuserymen and florists. E. Campbell, the issuer of the tokens with the Turk's head, had them from James, of London, who was both die-sinker and manufacturer; he was also the manufacturer of several of Spence's tokens, hence this accounts for the " m u l i n g " of a die with one of Spence's, and for the use of some blanks having Spence's "edge-reading." The writer of the " Bazaar Notes " informs us that Henry Harrison was a buckle maker. All that can be said of the design of his tokens is that the anchor as seen 011 the reverse forms the crest of the Arms of Edinburgh. Charles Pye has no record of die-sinker, manufacturer, or quantity. Thomas and Alexander Hutchison issued 10 tons of Halfpenny tokens and about 6 lbs. of the Farthings dated 1792. They were merchants. The design on the tokens represents Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, and his cross, and on the reverse, the Arms of Edinburgh. There were a number of counterfeits and some mules. J. G. Hancock, Senr., of Birmingham, was the die-sinker and manufacturer of the genuine tokens. Of the tokens designed by J. Wright, Junr., having on the obverse a representation of the Register Office, 100 were struck. Wyon was the die-sinker, Kempson the manufacturer. A die-flaw appears on the obverse of some of the tokens. There is a possibility that these were issued by John Wright, of High Street, who issued a small quantity of another design, in brass, advertising his goods ; as also did R. Sanderson & Co. A noticeable feature of the reverse is the inaccuracy of the spelling. John White, of Kirkgate, Leith, was a dealer in tea and gin, and issued a quantity of tokens, advertising the Port of Leith, and incidentally his goods. Kendrick (probably Joseph Kendrick & Co., Button makers, of Hill Street, Birmingham) was the manufacturer; the name of die-sinker is not stated. Charles Pye informs us that John Ferrier, hosier, of Perth, had 5 cwt. of his tokens struck, Willets was the die-sinker, Kempson the manufacturer. J. Wright, Junr., was the designer. Another token designed by Wright makes reference to the water-mills of the district. Of these, six dozen only were struck, some being in silver, from dies by Willets, at the manufactory of Kempson. John Ferrier was the issuer.
( v )

The tokens of Patrick K. Maxwell are fairly common. Kendrick was the manufacturer. The hank of yarn and bundle of flax represent the linen trade of Perth. The issuer was a grocer and spirit dealer. David Peters' tokens advertise his trade. factured by Lutwyche. 5 cwt. were struck. They are from dies by Westwood ; manu-

The Perth Farthings, designed by J. Menzies, from dies by YVillets, manufactured by Kempson, are interesting specimens, being a sort of counterpart of the Private tokens of John Ferrier. 1 cwt. were struck. The other Farthing tokens of Perth, as also those of Paisley and of Jedburgh, are only remarkable as advertising the trades of the issuers. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins' work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors:

INTRODUCTION.
NOTES O N THE TOKENS OF THIS SECTION,

S regards the Itish tokens of the 18th Century, unfortunately, no contemporary writer or collector did for them what Charles Pye did for those of England, Scotland and W a l e s ; hence the information available is considerably limited.

W i t h the exception of short notices in old newspapers, we have little available beyond what the author of the " B a z a a r N o t e s " compiled; in which we are informed that William Mossop, of 13, Essex Quay, Dublin, cut the dies of a great number. A reference to Thomas Sharp's "Catalogue of the Provincial Copper Coins, Tokens and Medalets . . . in the Collection of Sir George Chetwynd, B a r t . , " is made because he, in several instances, gives the die-sinker's names. The early 18th Century tokens are not included in this list, viz., those of James Maculla, who in 1729, and in 1731, issued tokens, the earlier ones conveying the promise of " 2 0 pence a pound for these " ; the others, " Promise 20 shillings pound str." ; Francis McMinn promised " t o pay the bearer on demand two pence, 1760," etc. The tokens attributed to Cork are chiefly mules. manufacturer, possibly both. Sharp gives Denton as die-sinker or

An unfortunate feature of a number of Irish tokens is the presence of a cypher or monogram, without any edge reading to inform posterity as to its meaning ; J E Co and W H Co are instances. H M Co, which appears on the reverse of the token date 1792, refers to the Hibernian Mine Co. The IMCo on the Drogheda tokens may mean Irish Mine Co. poorly designed and executed. The specimens are

The Penny of the H MCo, " C a m a c Kyan and Camac," and that with the legend " Turner Camac Chairman," are very rare.

The writer of the " Bazaar N o t e s " informs us that " The introduction of the female with the harp is emblematic of Hibernia or E r i n ; and of the still, pick, and spade, of the manufacture of whiskey, and the mining industry, as carried on by the issuers and others.' This copper-mining industry, of which Turner Camac was chairman, was started in the year 1790, under the style of the Hibernian Mine Company, which was the name of an old copper-mine that had been stopped since the time of the Rebellion. porated in 1792. J o h n Camac. Mr. A. W. Waters kindly informs us that the principal copper-mine was at Ballymurtagh, at Arklow, in 1808. In 1827 the London Office of the Company was at 12, King's Arms Yard, Moorgate Street, City. At this date the Company had a lead mine at Castlemains, a coal mine at The capital in 1808 was 100,000. Tyrone, and a slate quarry at Valentia. The Company was incorThe partners in the firm were Turner Camac, J o h n Howard Kyan, and

The Halfpennies of the H M Co call for no further attention beyond the fact that the execution of the design of some, and the vagaries of the spelling, suggest the idea that they are forgeries. There is a Penny, very rare, issued by William Frederick Bentley, who also issued a number of Halfpennies of similar design, both dated 1804, and both state the place of business. A Penny " To prevent the abuse of charity " may be referred to, along with the " House of Industry Halfpenny," both being for the relief of the Poor. Mr. L. L. Fletcher has kindly forwarded the following, taken from a pamphlet in the British Museum
"AN ACCOUNT OF THE PROCEEDINGS HOUSE OF OF THE ACTING 1799G O V E R N O R S OF T H E

At this time Benjamin O'Brien was Master of the Works. In " An Account of the Proceedings of the Governors of the House of Industry," published by T. M. Bates, 89, Coombe, Dublin, in 1801, is a statement of the work done by the inmates, the dietary, and, at the end, a Plan of the Building, also of a Public Kitchen and Perpetual Ovens. There is also the following ( ii )

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has directed that during the present high prices of Provisions, Soup should be distributed to the Poor of this City, at the Public Kitchens, at One Halfpenny a quart. [It had previously been sold at One Penny per quart, and in a period of four months 37,200 quarts had been sold.] The Governors of the House of Industry give notice that the)' will forthwith distribute Soup at the rate of One Halfpenny per quart, and issue Tickets accordingly. Tickets for the several Soup-shops, at One Halfpenny each, are to be sold at the following places : Mr. Lindsay, Parliament Street. Mr. Vigne, College Green. Mr. Allen, Dame Street. Mr. Binns, Stephen's Green. Mr. Donovan, George's Quay. Rev. Dr. Moody, Dominick Street. Mr. Newell, Great Britain Street. Mr. Campbell, New Sackville Street. Messrs. Payne and Smith, College Green. Mr. Kinsley, Capel Street. Mr. Cash, Sackville Street. Capt. Woodward, Ellis' Quay. Mr. Ashley, Queen Street. Messrs. Stewart, Inn's Quay. Mr. O'Neale, Ormonde Quay. Mr. Mason, Coombe.

Mr. Rooke, Engraver, Crampton Court. Mr. Foley, Capel Street.

" N.B.The Public are earnestly requested not to give Alms to the Poor in money, but in Tickets, a mode best calculated to procure for them a cheap and wholesome nutritious subsistence.

F i n g a l l , and S w o r d s tokens, have n o t h i n g to indicate who were t h e issuers. ( iii )

The Farthings, with the exception of mules, bear the name and place of business of the issuers.
D r . A q u i l l a S m i t h , M.RI.A., in 1858, read a paper before the Archaeological Society at Kilkenny, being a " Catalogue of Leaden and Pewter Tokens issued in Ireland." These passed current as farthings, as no regal issue of this denomination took place between 1760 and 1806.

The only pewter token is that of Ballycastle, " For Coals or S a l t " (evidently not intended to be used for general purposes). Dr. Smith states that this was probably issued by Hugh Boyd, soon after 1736, for the convenience of the poor. With the exception of one bearing the initials DG, and dated 1731, the rest of the tokens were cast in lead, and are of later date, viz., as between 1795 and 1816. Of that issued by Dennis O'Flynn, in 1795, and later, Dr. Smith states" I am indebted to Mr. Richard Caulfield for a token cast in the original brass mould at his request by Mr. O'Flynn in the year 1856." Seventeen tokens have been traced to have been issued by grocers. Dr. Smith included twelve tokens of which the locality could not be definitely stated. Four were stated by Mr. Lindsay to have been struck in Cork (perhaps he did not know that they were cast in a mould). One only has the name of the issuer, viz.TYRRELL ; the others, an initial or initials. The fact that such should be accepted as currency points to the scarcity of regal issue, and the pressing need for small change. The Charleville token for One Shilling and One Penny is one of the finest designed and executed pieces ; they were struck at Soho ^Vorks, Birmingham. The issuer was raised to the Peerage in 1797, created Viscount Charleville and Baron Tullamoore in 1800, and Earl in 1806. Charleville Forest, the seat of the Earl of Charleville, adjoins the town of Tullamoore, which is about 51 miles south-west of Dublin. The writer of the " Bazaar Notes " further gives a heraldic description of the arms, and adds" It is implied that the issuer made a profit of the odd penny on the redemption of each piece." Seeing that 13 pence Irish were computed to the British shilling, it may be quite possible that no such profit was either intended or made. In an account of the Castleknock Farmers' Society there are a number of prizes stated to have been given to certain men, women, boys, and girls. In every instance the guinea is rated at one pound, two shillings and nine penceviz., twenty-one shillings, and twenty-one pence. Of the Munster tokens (not the mules), all that can be stated is what the writer of the " Bazaar Notes " informs usviz., that the design of the obverse presents a portrait of Bryen Boiroimhe, King of Ulster, who, in 1014, gained a famous victory over the Danes, at Clontarf, near Dublin.
I iv }

R. Woodcock, banker, of Enniscorthy, issued some tokens, on which is represented a fortified gateway. At one time the town was fortified, but at the date of issuing the tokens nothing indicating the fortification was left except the Castle, which, in 1801, was entire. The writer to the "Gentleman's Magazine" gives this information, and states that it stands on a craggy hill, in the centre of the town, at the south side of the River Slaney, and opposite to Vinegar Hill; which latter is shown on the reverse, a ruined windmill being seen on the summit. On this hill or mountain was fought a bloody battle during the Rebellion at the close of the 18th Century. Towards the foot of the hill is a vast grave or pit, in which were interred the bodies of about 500 men, who were slain in the conflict. The tokens were struck at Soho Works, and are beautiful specimens of the die-sinker's art in depicting rural scenery in a most minute manner. The same person also issued tokens with cypher ii w, and the crest.
" F O R CHANGE

" on the obverse, along with the

The writer of the " Bazaar Notes" informs us that the firm issuing the Cronebane tokensviz., the Associated Irish Mine Company, was formed in or about the year 1787 by Abraham Mills (who became Chairman), William Roe, Robert Hodgson, Bryan Hodgson, Thomas Weaver the Elder, Edward Hawkins, Thomas Smith, Charles Caldwell, and Brabazon Noble, for the purpose of working copper and other mines. The Company had an office at 184, Great Britain Street, Dublin. The Cronebane Mine, situate in the Yale of Ovoca, on the opposite side of the river to Ballymurtagh, about six miles from Wicklow, was one of the mines of the Company. The tokens with the legend "Associated Irish Miners Arms " are very probably counterfeits. The former state that they are " Payable at Cronebane Lodge, or in Dublin " ; the latter simply state a city or town, except where the edge-reading refers to a private individual, as Thomas Ball, Sleaford. The obverse of the genuine tokens represents St. Patrick, a native of Scotland, but the patron saint of Ireland, who died in 493. The reverse, a crest and shield of arms, which, by the legend, may be regarded as the Arms of the Company. Extract from "Walker's Hibernian Magazine," for September, 1795 ; p. 229 :
"TRIP THROUGH PART OF T H E COUNTV OF W I C K L O W IN J U N E , 1794.

" I lay the second night in Rathdrum, and the following morning I went to see the copper works of Cronebawn. " Cronebawn is an hill of two miles in circumference, and upwards of 300 yards in height, swelling regularly in form of an inverted bowl, in the bowels of which are rich mines, principally copper, worked at present by a company of English gentlemen. An accidental discovery, which some time ago happened, has made the stream, which issues from the hill, more beneficial than all the rest of the mines : some of the workmen, having left an iron shovel in the stream, found it some weeks after encrusted with copper, insomuch that they thought it ( v )

converted into that material. Mr. John Kyan, to whom these mines formerly belonged, constructed a number of stone cisterns, in which a quantity of iron being deposited, in some time it leaves a sediment of copper, which is thought to be better than that taken out of the mountain. " But though the mineral stream affords a considerable profit to the proprietors, it is extremely injurious to the neighbourhood by entirely destroying a very fine salmon fishery, as from the place where the poisonous stream enters the river till it is lost in the sea, the fish are almost all destroyed. " On the opposite side of the river from Cronebawn is the copper works of Ballymurtagh, worked at present by Messrs. Camac, Kyan and Camac.'

Extract from " Memoir on the Geological Relations of the East of Ireland," by Thomas Weaver, published in 1819; pp. 97-8:
" T h e present Company of Cronebane commenced their operations in the year 1787, having purchased the mines and fee of that estate, and also part of Tigrony, upon their losing the lease of the celebrated Parys mine, in Anglesea, of which they were the original discoverers. In 1798 they were incorporated by Act of Parliament under the firm of The Associated Irish Mine Company."

Thomas Weaver was for many years resident acting partner. It is most disappointing that no record is available of the quantity struck, but by the number of die-varieties of the various Irish series, great quantities must have been struck and circulated, besides the counterfeits, which also by the die-varieties must have been numerous. The following pieces have not yet been traced, but are included on the authority of Atkins' work on Tokens, and also from notes that have been supplied by various Collectors:

GENERAL INDEX.

H E object aimed at in the compilation of this Index, was that by its aid any person unacquainted with token collecting, could trace almost every token or combination, although not bearing any issuer's name or locality. name occurs. under " H . " occurs upon initial letters discarded, as

There are recorded all places of issue, surnames, and initial letters where no These initial letters are indexed under the first letter; thus " H W " is recorded Where the issuer's name occurs upon the edge it is indexed, but only when it its rightful token; when the edge is incorrect it is ignored. The whole of the on the Scotch and Irish Farthings are recorded; but the letter " F " has been in almost every instance it indicates Farthing.

Where any token is classified under any locality or town and does not bear the name of the town, then the principal object is recorded. This remark applies chiefly to mules; but where muled dies bear the name of a town and are described under that town, then they are not recorded. Some busts are entered under " Busts," the rest are under the names. Monograms and cyphers are entered under the first letter occurring on the die. There is a special section of London localities. Spence's dies are not all recorded ; but every section is indexed, so that any particular combination should soon be found. Should any variety not be found, the Addenda should be consulted (see pages 537-557).
