Excerpt from Catalogue of Coins, Roman and English Series: In the Museum of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society 1847 The form in which this Catalogue is drawn up may perhaps need a few words of explanation. The object aimed at is simply usefulness, full detailed description is therefore not attempted. With this Catalogue in their hands, the Members of the Society, especially those who are engaged in numismatic study, or interested in such line of observation, will be aware of what resources they possess at command in the Society's Museum. The Catalogue will also shew the deficiencies in the Collection, and thus indicate where a disposition to advance numismatic study by the help derived from a public collection may have the means of giving effectual aid. It has been considered rather a special object to add to the Collection coins found within the district, as possessing in addition a local interest, and in this view particularly the Society has from time to time made some purchases. Discovery of coins, Roman and English, in the district, has been very frequent: and had this Society with its museum existed long since, no doubt there would have been at this time an extensive collection in the hands of the University, possessing both local and general interest, and great value.
