17th-Century Farthing Trade Tokens
Derbyshire
|
In the original edition, much use was made of the catalogues
issued by the late Wm. Henry Brockett, Esq., of Gateshead, and
assistance from the late Thomas Bateman, Esq., of Lomberdale
House, Youlgrave, and the late Llewellyn Jewitt, Esq., F.S.A., of
Derby, was also fully recognised. The editor of this edition most
thankfully recognises the invaluable aid given him in the work by his
esteemed and much-lamented friend, Mr. Jewitt, who, after assisting
Mr. Boyne in the first edition, most willingly offered his aid in making
the second edition more interesting by notes on the issuers. This
work of compiling these notes, though commenced, was never half
completed, as the sudden decease of Mr. Jewitt deprived antiquarian
science of one of its most devoted followers, and every youthful
helper in the field of archaeology of a generous friend. To the editor
the loss was irreparable, no other person possessing equal knowledge
of the county; and the editor tenders his very hearty thanks to
Henry S. Gill, Esq., J.P., of Tiverton, who kindly consented to look
over the county, and make addenda and corrigenda from his accumulated
store of information on tokens. The name of Brampton is the
only one added to the places of issue, many corrections of the first
edition are made, and, inclusive of varieties, the addition of twenty-four
tokens.
The editor has not ventured to add any notes to those given by the late Mr. Jewitt, feeling that a sacred respect for his interrupted work is the best tribute to his memory.
