Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the First Portion of the Valuable and Important Collection of Early British, Anglo-Saxon, Norman and English Coins, the Property of the Late Bernard Roth, Esq. J. P. F. S. A. F. R. N. S., Kingswood, Enfield, Middlexes I HE valuable and important Collection (of which this is the First Portion only) is the result of many years' ardent pursuit and study by the late Mr. Bernard Roth, who, like many of his con temporaries, was guided more by the inclination to acquire rare coins in the finest condition, than to form a collection remarkable for size and completeness, as were the Montagu and Murdoch cabinets. He was fortunate enough to obtain many fine specimens of the rarest and most desirable English gold and silver coins. A large number of the coins were purchased from such famous col lections as the Shepherd, Brice, Montagu, Marsham, Murdoch, Rash leigh and Moon cabinets, or from others equally well-known; the pedigrees have been carefully verified by reference to each sale quoted, so that they may be accepted as correct, and also taken as evidence of Mr. Bernard Roth's sagacious method of collecting. There are especially interesting series of Early British and Anglo Saxon coins, but perhaps Mr. Roth's Pennies of the late Norman period (henry I, and Stephen) are his best and most complete series they include many great rarities, as well as some unpublished and presumably unique pieces.
