PROFILE: LOUIS XV, KING OF FRANCE, 1715-1774.
When, in 1715, Louis XIV died, his great grandson, then aged five, succeeded to the throne of France as Louis XV. In 1725 the young king married Maria Leszczynska, daughter of Stanislaus, the exiled king of Poland. For nearly thirty years the affairs of state were conducted in turn by Philippe d’Orleans, by the Duke of Bourbon and finally by Cardinal Fleury, whose administration was rather more successful than those of his predecessors.
In 1743, however, the king attempted to follow the example of Louis XIV and to establish an autocracy, but he was not sufficiently strong in character and from this time onwards the extravagances and pernicious influences of his various mis¬ tresses, such as Pompadour and especially Du Barry, began to have a marked effect upon die royal conduct of affairs. As an example of the king’s extravagance it is said that Madame Du Barry received 180 million livres within a space of five years.
Foreign policy in particular was very badly managed, and France took part most unprofitably in all the wars of the eighteenth century, fighting in turn for the King of Spain, for Frederick of Prussia and for the Empress Maria-Theresia. Moreover, a short-sighted colonial policy led to the loss of nearly all her colonies including Canada and most of the French possessions in India.
In the sphere of science and the arts, however, France held the premier position in the world. French became widely spoken in the courts of Europe and everywhere French manners and style were adopted. Artists such as Watteau, Boucher and Greuze founded a school of painting without equal. Philosophers like Voltaire and Rousseau, in revolt against absolutism and religious intolerance, expressed new

theories on freedom and personal liberty, which to some extent prepared the way for the Revolution.
The last years of Louis’s reign were undistinguished and inglorious, and he died of smallpox in the year 1774. He was succeeded by his grandson Louis XVI.

THE ROYAL MINT.
By IT G. Stride, O.B.E.
Chapter XXXII : Measures to meet increasing demands
on the Mint.
Demands for coin continued to increase at such a rapid rate that it was not long before the capacity of the mint was again being taxed to the uttermost, and assistance was being obtained from private firms by the purchase of bronze bars and coinage blanks.
During the period from 1816 to 1847 when the gold, silver and copper coinage was entirely renewed the mint produced an annual average of £2,813,418 in gold coin, £424,687 in silver coin and £7,756 in copper coin. From 1870 to 1887 when the issues from the mint merely represented additions to the metallic circulation the annual averages were £2,875,717 in gold, £691,062 in silver and £34,433 in bronze, but during the next ten years i.e. from 1888 to 1897 the corresponding figures were £6,332,114 in gold, £1,187,313 in silver and £69,265 in bronze. Expressed in pieces the annual average had increased for these two periods from 29,508,772 to 52,143,419 in the case of Imperial coins alone and from 34,049,150 to 75,405,197 in the case of Imperial and Colonial coins combined.
In 1897, therefore, measures for increasing the capacity of the mint were com¬ menced by enlarging the silver melting house and increasing the size of the melting furnaces. In addition, the use of electricity for driving the machinery was initiated by the erection in the Melting House of an electric overhead travelling crane for lifting the crucibles from the furnaces and transporting them to the pouring frames.
Alterations and improvements continued for ten years and had in view (1) the gradual transfer from direct driving by means of shafting to electrical driving of all the machinery in the department; (2) the grouping of the rooms so that they would follow one another in the same order as the operations of coining, namely, Melting, Rolling, Cutting, Annealing, Cleaning, Coining and Weighing; and (3) greater efficiency and the more rapid outturn of coin. Thus by 1907 two Rolling Rooms had been completely re-equipped with 4 pairs of 15-inch mills driven at 30 r.p.m., 4 pairs of 14-inch mills driven at 35 r.p.m., 2 pairs of 12-inch mills driven at 45 r.p.m., 2 pairs of 10-inch mills driven at 55 r.p.m. and one 5-inch mill driven at 24 r.p.m.
The Cutting Room was enlarged and the number of presses increased to 14, each cutting press making 160 revolutions per minute. When the Coining Depart¬ ment was extended and improved in 1882 the Annealing Room with its six rever¬ beratory furnaces was left untouched. In 1901 these furnaces, consisting of a mass of brickwork 8 feet high and occupying a floor space of 500 square feet, were removed and replaced by three rotary and two oven furnaces, heated by gas and air and, together with the blower, driven by a special motor with the necessary shafting. The furnaces were similar to those which had recently been adopted in the new mint of the United States at Philadelphia. Among the advantages of the new furnaces were their greater rapidity and cleanliness in work and their need for less manual labour than the old furnaces while the use of gas as a fuel dispensed

207
with the need of providing storage for coal and the delivery of the coal in a room of the Coining Department, often when coinage operations were in progress
During the two following years the reverberatory furnaces in the Rolling Rooms for annealing the fillets were replaced by three gas furnaces.
The number of presses in the Coining Press Room was increased to nineteen consisting of the following: — . .
1. No. 1 Heaton Uhlhorn Press . . . . . . 125 pieces per minute
15. No. 2 Heaton Uhlhorn Presses each .. .. 110 pieces per minute
2. No. 4 Heaton Uhlhorn Presses each . . . . 100 pieces per minute
1 . Greenwood & Batley Crown Press . . . . 90 pieces per minute
The adaptation of the machinery for electric driving was completed in 1907,
the necessary power being provided by two 200 kilowatt Siemens- Willans generators. The three compound jet condensing engines of marine type which were erected in 1882 by Messrs, /vlaudslay Sons & Field and had since that date been the main source of power in the mint were now taken down and cleared away.
Of the many advantages derived from the supersession of steam power by elec¬ tricity not the least was the removal of the difficulty of providing wa-ter supplies for the steam engines. When the mint was erected and equipped a hundred years earlier the supply of water was derived mainly from the Tower moat. The water was conveyed by a tunnel to a well in the mint courtyard from which a series of tunnels radiated to five other wells situated in close proximity to the various engine houses. These wells varied in depth from about 50 feet to 97 feet and enabled the supply from the moat to be supplemented by surface drainage. By 1842, how¬ ever, the supply of water had become precarious and uncertain and an examination of the wells disclosed that the steening was in an advanced state of decay and the walls and tunnels silted up with mud and sand. Moreover, owing to the insalu¬ brious condition of the water in the Tower moat and the numerous complaints thereof by the local inhabitants preparations were being made to empty the moat permanently of its water. To meet the position a new well was sunk in the mint having a depth of 426 ft. 6 ins. in which were fitted three pumps driven by a 20 h.p. steam engine and delivering 240 gallons of water a minute. A storage tank having a capacity of 93,750 gallons was also erected at a height of 45 feet from the ground and a system of mains constructed. After about 30 years the supply of water became insufficient and the well gradually fell into disuse, supplies then being obtained from the New River Company. In 1898 and 1899 operations were undertaken to reinstate the well, but after an accumulation of mud had been removed an obstruction was encountered at a depth of 383 feet which there was every reason to believe was a bore tool broken and lost during the original construction of the well. Many
attempts were made to grapple with it and although it was secured on four occasions it was always lost after being raised about 160 feet through coming in contact with the lower end of the bore tube, which was found to be out of line with the bore hole in the chalk. The supply of water at the level of the suction pipes was also found to be inadequate, while an analysis of the water showed that it contained many impurities which would prove prejudicial to the boilers.
A further attempt was made in 1907 to reinstate the well when it appeared probable that the modern method of raising water by air pressure would overcome the difficulty of a deficient supply and that if the impurities resulted from the intro¬ duction of surface water through a crack known to exist in the well-lining, the bore pipe could be sealed and pure water drawn from the bottom of the bore hole. Experi¬ ments extended over a period of nine weeks and resulted in a thorough cleansing of the bore hole while a continuous supply of water at the rate of 5,000 or 6,000 gallons an hour was obtained. Samples were taken for analysis from time to time and
208
THE ROYAL MINT
forwarded to the Government Laboratory for report, the result of which was that it “ has more than twice the degree of hardness of the New River supply ” “ and contains a large amount of mineral matter, and is neither suitable for drinking nor boiler purposes.” There were good grounds for believing that the impurities entered the bore hole just below the stratum of green sand overlying the chalk, about 200 feet below the ground level, and at the junction of the bore pipe with the bore hole. As no effective means were known of sealing such a junction the work was finally abandoned. In 1908 the large storage tank was drained and cleaned and two smaller tanks having a capacity of 9,000 gallons erected inside it.
The heavy demands totalling 338,796 for the medal commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897 disclosed that the mint was very badly equipped for medal work. Only three presses were in use which were of antiquated design and worked by manual labour. When they were in full use seven men were required for each press, two relays of three men each at a time to turn the screw7, and one man to adjust the blank to receive the blow. The presses were scattered in different parts of the building and the medals had in most cases to be carried some distance and through the open air to the turning shop.
Between 1899 and 1901, therefore, a Medal Department was established at the south-west corner of the Coining Department by adapting the old “ sizing room ” and erecting contiguous wTith it a two-storied building. The sizing room had formerly been used for the work of bringing the blanks to a uniform weight by filing or “ sizing,” but on the introduction of automatic weighing machines in 1853 this operation was discontinued and the “ sizing ” room had remained unused. The machinery of the new Medal Department consisted of five large friction driven presses of special design, made by Messrs. Greenwood and Bailey Ltd., of Leeds, and six Mossberg drop presses all driven by electric motors. But for the establish¬ ment of this new department the heavy demands made by the large issues of South African campaign medals could not have been met by the mint.
With the death of Mr. De Saulles in July 1903 the office of Engraver to the Mint, one which had existed certainly since the Norman Conquest, was abolished. As with many other handicrafts the old art of engraving on steel was being displaced by the ingenuity of the engineer. A machine had been devised which, from a large plaster model, automatically cut the design on a small steel punch, from which the working dies for coins or medals could readily be prepared in a press. One of these machines, a Janvier reducing machine, was acquired in 1901 and a second one in 1902.
Crude machines for producing copies of medallions appear to have been in existence so long ago as the 18th century and a machine called the “ tour a portrait,” invented by M. Hulot, a French mechanician, about the year 1800, met with some success. A similar machine was made about the year 1830 by William Wyon, R.A., chief engraver at the mint 1825-1851, and was used by him for preparing the coinage dies when Queen Victoria ascended the throne. Another machine was patented by C. J. Hill in 1866 and a copy of this was acquired by the mint and used from time to time. Both machines were similar in that the original and copy were mounted on parallel axes, coupled together and rotated at equal speeds, while the tracing point and cutting tool were mounted on a pivoted bar passing over them. It was necessary to take several cuts in each case and the copy when taken from the machine required touching up by hand. Each machine was operated by a treadle and relied to a great extent on the skill of the operator. In consequence these machines were used only very infrequently and in 1910 were placed in the Science Museum, South Kensington, where they are included in the collection of machine tools.
The large numbers of departmental and other seals for the United Kingdom,
BY H. G. STRIDE
209
Dominions, Colonies, etc., which were required in consequence of the accession of King Edward VII provided the mint with novel duties of a special kind. In 1901 the Treasury had decided that the designing and engraving of such seals should in the future be carried out in the mint and that the Deputy Master of the Mint should hold the appointment of Engraver of His Majesty’s Seals ex officio.
When the mint was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century provision was made for guard rooms and a military guard was thenceforth provided from the garrison in the Tower. In 1903, however, the Secretary of State for War, v/ith a view of relieving the excessive amount of sentry duty in London, decided to abolish the Mint Guard, the latter being finally withdrawn on 30th June 1903 and their places taken by the Metropolitan Police.
The struggle by the mint to meet the steadily growing demands made upon it by increasing its capacity within the confines of its original periphery had now become almost continuous. In 1909 a new Mechanics Shop was erected to give ^ greater facilities for the rapid repair and renewal of mint machinery and the site of the old shop was used for the erection of new Melting Houses. In anticipation of the latter extension experiments were conducted on the use of gas and oil in melting and other experiments made with electric furnaces. Although gas and oil had long been used^as fuel in various industries it was found after extended enquiries that no plant then existed wffiich was adapted to the work of the mint. The experi¬ ments, therefore, involved the preparation of many designs for furnaces of various sizes and the testing of a number of burners for obtaining high temperatures, some specially designed and others of patterns already in use.
In the end gas was adopted and the old coke furnaces w^ere abandoned in 1910 in favour of the new gas furnaces wffiich had evolved from the several experiments. The new Silver Melting House was equipped with sixteen gas-heated furnaces having a maximum capacity of 2§ tons silver or 2} tons of bronze per melt: four such melts of silver or three of bronze could be made in an ordinary working day which at that time extended from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. About 10 tons of metal could thus be melted in a day as compared with five tons only in the old house. Ten gas- heated furnaces were erected in the new Gold Melting House and during each of the two following years produced an average of 437 tons of bars as compared with an annual average of 19 1J tons during the previous ten years from the eight coke- fired furnaces in the old melting house.
Additional work of a new type devolved on the mint in 1910 consisting of the preparation of the various dies required by the Inland Revenue Department for k embossing, both in London and in numerous offices throughout the United King- ' dom, cheques, transfers and various legal documents with the stamps indicating duties payable on such documents. The mint also undertook the preparation of all dies and plates required for the printing of adhesive stamps and in 1911 the plates for the several duties of National Health and Unemployment Stamps. New premises were necessary to accommodate the various operations connected with this wrork and space for the purpose was provided in the south side of the premises by the removal of a line of old buildings consisting of tv/o workmen’s dwellings, stores and other minor structures.
Following the installation of the plant for the electro-deposition of copper and nickel plates for the printing of adhesive stamps, the mint was able in 1912 to assist the Department of Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings in securing a series of electrotypes of the inscriptions on the walls and in the cells of the Tower of London. Original moulds were carefully taken of the entire series of inscriptions, numbering 268 in all and varying in area from 3J inches by 3J inches to a very large one measuring 35 inches by 24 inches. The total area of the moulds secured was
210
THE ROYAL MINT
172 square feet. Master plates were prepared from these moulds and two replicas of each were duly delivered to the Office of Works.
The bronze coin, the issue of which had commenced in 1860, was now beginning to show signs of wear and tear and in 1908 provision was therefore made in the Mint Vote for the withdrawal from circulation of those coins in a worn condition. Arrangements were made with the assistance of the Postmaster General to withdraw worn bronze coin at selected centres in the United Kingdom. Up to the end of 1913, however, less than £100,000 had been withdrawn of the total issues to that date of over £5,000,000 of bronze coin of which over £1,000,000 had been issued before 1870.

Edge as no. 71a on a heavy flan 29 mm.
— D. & H. 170 bis (A- 139). Struck from the Ottley die in tin without the period after
Medallist. In Dalton’s footnote on page 283, it stated that two reverse dies of Ottley’s were used about 1830 with and without the period. With the exception of no. 153 and no. 218 of the Kempson building series, all others were struck in silver gilt for Sir George Chetwynd are now in the British Museum. All these have periods with the exception of no. 173 and no. 176. A further note is made that no. 170 is known- in white metal but tin is omitted from the records.
— D. & H. 455 bis ( A-322 ). Obv. Bust to the right as the obverse of no. 455. R. As no.

— D. & H. 273 bis. Trial impression of a Druid’s bust without the wreath, struck on a
blank 29 mm. Edge; payable in Anglesey London or Liverpool. Note, this is not the trial proof as no. 272, but from the puncheon that impressed those of no. 273.
— D. & H. 291 bis (^4-147). Obv. The bust of a Druid as no. 291. R. As no. 287.
Regular edge reading, size 29 mm.
— D. & H. 296 bis. Obv. Same as no. 296. R. As no. 298 with the regular edge, size
27 mm. Note, although this is listed as a genuine trader’s token, the flan size would prove it to be a counterfeit, notwithstanding the edge wording.
— D. & H. 320 bis. Obv. Bust as no. 320. R. As no. 322, the Anglesey monogram
halfpenny of 1788. It would seem that the Hancock dies were sometimes mixed by the workmen at Birmingham, in the mint erected by the Parys Mines Company. Size 29 mm.
South Wales. D. & H. 29 bis (A- 26). Obv. A laureate bust to the right as no. 29. R.
Two sprigs of oak with two acorns on each as no. 25. Plain edge, size 22 mm.
Angusshire. D. & H. 21 bis III (A- 16). The top shrub growing from the ruin is above the “ t ” of the, and the ornamental star at the beginning of legend, is lower. The exergue has the “ j ” of Junr and star, clear at the right of archway. Obv. As no. 21. Edge reading as no. 21, size 28 mm.
— D. & H. 31 bis. Obv. Coat of Arms as no. 31. R. The “ m ” of Montrose is farther
from the chimney of hospital. Omitting the gate entrance to building, we find the fences on either side have seventeen pickets. Those of nos. 30, 34 and 35 tokens in this series have sixteen, if someone has the balance of this run nos. 32 and 36, please advise. Edge as no. 31, size 29 mm.
Ayrshire. D. & H. 5 bis (A-2). Obv. Bust of the Prince of Wales as no. 5. R. An unrecorded die impression of the British Arms on four shields crosswise. The left angle shield of Brunswick-Luneburg has the heart behind the paw of the rampant lion, and the bottom point of this shield is centred between honi soit. Proof medal struck in silver, size 28 mm.
Milton the diesinker, erred in the design of this shield by reversing the positions of the rampant lion and the two walking lions, the large lion should be at the rear like those of the regal coinage of George I, II, III. It may be well to note that both reverse dies used on number five were incorrectly designed, a fact that has remained unnoticed since they were struck in 1799. The illustrated picture of this medal may be found in the D. & H. work, on page 409.

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY TOKENS — ADDITIONS
Inverness-shire. D. Of H. 4 bis (A- 4). Obv. This appears to be made from the same die, but with a period after the date, 1796. Edge as la, size 29 mm.
Lanarkshire. D. & H. 36 bis. Obv. Similar to no. 36, but with two bell-like objects hanging from the tree. A bird is perched on the topmost branch and touches the first leg of “ H ” in farthing. The reverse strike is clearer than the illustration in D. & H. that fails to show the “ s ” in Hamilton’s placed sideways, or the upper right bar of the cross of St. Andrew’s under the “ n ” in snuff. Size 23 mm.
Upon the guidance and advise of Mr. Arthur W. Waters, a further study has been made of Lanarkshire, D. & H. 36 bis, to check for the possibility of a double strike on the obverse token. The Glasgow farthing of ALFXr Hamilton was placed in the epidia¬ scope and enlarged upon the screen for viewing. We found the quatrefoil under the arms of Glasgow missing and in its place were five ornamental dots • : * which could very well appear on other impressions made by this puncheon. Unlike both colour- type illustrations on pages 417 and 549 in Dick Dalton’s works which are overstruck, no evidence of overstriking was found. With regard to the reverse of this Scottish tradesman’s token, the date of 1791 is plainly readable although worn in circulation. It seems most strange that a second “ Bell of Keltoi ” should appear above and to the left of the lower one, for while it is possible for the blank flan to have a similar raised bell shaped form on its surface before the impression was taken, yet no leaf shape inden¬ tations appear on the second bell. Many flans of uneven thickness could, and often do when impressed, give the subject matter a different appearance.
Lothian. D. & H. 122 bis (H-110). Obverse is similar to no. 122, but with a dash between d — Sinclair, and the ornamental stars on either side of * dealer * have a raised dot in the centre. The unusual thing about this farthing, is the machine made edge wording “ A. m. 19 ” that is perfectly lined and centered. It is regrettable that no factual infor¬ mation can be obtained in reference to its meaning. However, it is the only other farthing in this series with edge wording to be recorded. Size 22 mm.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, FROM THE PRESS, ETC.
Great Portland Street. To readers of this Bulletin the name Great Portland Street will always occasion a feeling of pleasurable anticipation. It therefore comes with some sur¬ prise to find that Moray McLaren, the well-known Scottish writer and broadcaster, regards it almost as a synonym for the prosaic. In the penultimate paragraph of his book “ The Highland Jaunt,” which is a study of James Boswell and Samuel Johnson upon their Highland and Hebridean Tour of 1773, he writes, “ He [James Boswell] died in his fifty-fifth year on 18 May, 1795. Worn down by a mixture of success and failure, of respectable ambition and recurrent frivolity and debauchery, he sank into a deep yet never-despairing slovenliness of habit and body in his house in, of all places, Great Portland Street. Great Portland Street where today the motor salesmen ply their ephemeral trade under the great white bulk of Broadcasting House — Great Portland Street in London, the city he had once admired and loved so much.” — F. Bell.
Editor’s Note: Visitors to Great Portland Street can see the London County Council blue plaque on the wall of the present No. 122 where the house once stood where Boswell

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
lived and died. Today there are fewer car dealers in Great Portland Street than there used to be and it is now increasingly becoming the centre for the wholesale houses of women’s dress manufacturers.
The House of Seaby at No. 65 is almost in the shadow of Broadcasting House, the home of the B.B.C., and is an old brick building constructed on a corner site in 1875. Our premises are on the first, second and third floor (what our American friends would call second, third and fourth floors) of what used to be a private residence: the ground floor, for many years occupied by an art dealer, is now the showroom of Messrs. K. Henry, the London car dealers. This building backed on to Queen’s Hall and St. George’s Hall before they were both gutted by German bombs one night in 1941 — the site is now a car park (usually full after 9.30 a.m. !). No. 65 is nearer to Oxford Circus Station than to Great Portland Street Station (see map), and strangers to our establishment should look for our clock.
Seaby’s is not the only site of numismatic interest in Great Portland Street. Collectors of eighteenth century tokens will probably be familiar with the halfpenny token issued in 1795 by Moore, the proprietor of a lace manufactory located at No. 116, who particularly advertised his “ muslins, Irish cloth, hose, &c.”
Moore’s halfpenny token ( D . & H., Middlesex , no. 389)
The Heath Tokens of Bath. The eighteenth century provincial token coinage is probably not of general interest to the majority of numismatists and a protracted correspon¬ dence on Francis Heath and his tokens has a tendency to give an exaggerated and unnatural importance to a man who made no impact on the affairs of his day and who would possibly have gone completely un-noted had he not been a token issuer.
For these reasons I had hitherto decided not to make further comment on the Heath tokens but Mr. John R. Farnell’s latest article on the subject now renders this indispensably necessary. In the March Bulletin Mr. Farnell claims to have obtained fresh information through the medium of a report furnished to him in November 1953 by Mr. R. W. M. Wright, director of the “ Bath Museum.” Now Mr. Wright’s knowledge of Bath history and street- lore is profound and his opinions on local antiquarian matters are greatly valued. I therefore made a point of visiting him and have discussed with him the whole matter of the Heath tokens.
Mr. Wright tells me that the report sent by him to Mr. Farnell merely quoted the remarks of the late Mr. Sydney Sydenham as contained in his article “ Bath Token Issues of the 18th Century.” Writing of the Heath tokens in 1903 Mr. Sydenham says “ Francis Heath, the issuer of these has not been clearly traced, but he carried on business just previous to 1800 at No. 2 Bath Street, next door to M. Lambe and Son, and being opposite to the building, probably accounts for his using the newly completed front of the Pump Room as a device on his (1795) tokens.” The statement is, of course, nothing new and it is difficult to see how Mr. Farnell interprets it as fresh information.
When publishing his article Mr. Sydenham could not have taken into account the re¬ numbering of Bath Street or he would have realised then that Heath was never next-door to M. Lambe and Son. However, it has recently been my priviledge to examine a quantity of Mr. Sydenham’s original manuscripts and notes from which it becomes quite clear that he subsequently became aware of this re-numbering and its implications and I can only conclude that his untimely death in 1913 prevented him from correcting his original statement. The quotation given above is taken from my own copy of Mr. Sydenham’s article and is the actual copy presented by the author to Mr. W. J. Davis, being inscribed in Mr. Sydenham’s hand to this effect.
It may be of interest to mention that some fifty years ago a proposal to demolish the north side of Bath Street was considered by the Bath Corporation. Mr. Sydenham, than a local councillor, emerged as a vehement opponent of the scheme and it says much for his efforts and those of similarly minded people that the plan was never carried out. This is a typical example of Mr. Sydenham’s interest in things antiquarian and he is, of course, still remembered as an authority on Bath tokens.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wright agrees that Bath Street was re-numbered in 1799 but observes that the south side only was affected. He is undoubtedly correct in this as the street possesses no No. 8 today. Mi. Wright also points out that circa 1796 No. 15 Bath Street was taken over as an annejce by the adjacent White Hart Hotel and he suggests this as the cause of Heath’s removal to No. 3 (later 2) Bath Street. He also confirms that the original No. 1 Bath Street was merged with No. 36 Stall Street in 1799 after having been taken over by M. Lambe and Son in 1797 as an extension to their existing premises. There exists an indenture of 1797 between Mary Lambe and her youngest son Markes Lambe which refers to this very matter. Mr. Farnell’s inability to understand these street-numbering changes and his subsequent remarks on Bath topography make it evident that he is quite unfamiliar with the street lavout of the area con¬ cerned.
Having read all the correspondence which has appeared in the Bulletin anent the Heath tokens, Mr. Wright expresses himself as being in complete agreement with my remarks on the subject and I have his authority to say so. It might be as well to point out that prior to his retirement Mr, Wright was director of the Victoria Art Gallery and Municipal Libraries, Bath. There is no Bath Museum.
The correspondence regarding the Heath tokens originated as a result of an article entitled “ John Howard’s Half Pence ” in which Mr. Farnell cited Francis Heath as the issuer of the John Howard mule (D. & H. Somerset No. 35). As he has observed that it is never reasonable to assume, will he now disclose his reasons for this attribution ? — Arthur C. Griffin.

LORD NELSON AND THE RATTLE OF CAPE ST. VINCENT, 1797.
By Anthony Thompson
In February Air. Farnell commemorated the bi-centenary of Nelson’s birth by recalling his brilliant feats at the battle of Cape St. Vincent on St. Valentine’s day (14th February), 1797. This episode has, as he says, been somewhat overshadowed by other events, notably Trafalgar. There is a very good reason for this: Jervis’s victory was of less consequence than the Nile and Trafalgar, both of which were more decisive. The one led to the isolation and ultimate capitulation of the French army in Egypt, the other to the virtual extinction of the Franco- Spanish battle fleets as an offensive force after 1805. This is not to belittle St. Vincent, which had a considerable effect on the war situation. Defeat would have meant a British withdrawal from the Mediterranean at a time when our Austrian allies had been beaten by Bonaparte in Italy, and a lesser man than Jervis might have hesitated in the face of such odds. He did not, and attacked de Cordoba, believing that his fleet was a match for the badly trained Spaniards. Nelson, his junior divisional commander, contributed most to the victory, but all the captains showed great initiative.
The Bulletin is perhaps not the best place for a technical discussion of the battle, but it is well to know something of the background to the series of gold medals and N.G.S. bars awarded for services at St. Vincent. I hope that readers will bear with me if I follow up Mr. Farnell’s remarks in more detail.
Air. Farnell has done full justice to Nelson, but I do not think that he has quite grasped the ideas behind the movements of both fleets and his enthusiasm has led him into some inaccuracies in the names of ships and commanders.
The position was this. Jervis had caught the Spanish fleet in disorder, with one large group of ships to starboard and a smaller one to port (leeward). At 11 a.rn. on the 14th, he was standing to the SSW in normal order of sailing, with his ships in two parallel columns to port and starboard. He succeeded in cutting between de Cordoba’s two groups and then changed his formation to line ahead, signalling the fleet to take station ahead and astern of the Victory ‘ as most convenient ’. At 12.8 he made the signal to tack in succession, reversing the direction of his line to the north. Up to this time the action had been only partial, with the fleets passing each other on opposite tacks, but Jervis forced a close engagement by tacking his van with the intention of breaking up de Cordoba’s starboard group. He did not achieve this and at 12.51 ordered the fleet to take stations for mutual support as they came into action, which meant that each captain was to press on regardless of the consequences. The signal to tack had been made a little late, perhaps because the Victory was badly placed for a view of the battle, and at 1.19 Jervis ordered Collingwood in the Excellent (the rear ship) to get on to the same tack and take station ahead of the fleet, so as to delay de Cordoba’s progress.
By this time Collingwood was so far on his course (SSW) that the Spanish ships were getting behind him, and de Cordoba tried to envelop the British rear by joining his isolated ships. This group had already made two half-hearted attempts to break the centre of the British line from their position to leeward, but had been repulsed without much difficulty. Nelson in the Captain was last but two in the line and his turn to tack had not come. He instantly realized that the leading ships — now attacking the Spanish rear — would not be able to close the gap in time, so he disregarded the signal to tack and instead wore the Captain out of the line to leeward, away from the enemy. He then altered course, and passing between the two rear ships, the Diadem and Excellent , put himself across the bows of de Cordoba’s main fleet at 1.30 (see plan) At 2.15 Collingwood was in position to support him and the British van consisting of Troubridge in the Culloden, Captain Frederick in the Blenheim and Rear-Admiral William Parker in the Prince George had also come up. The combined fire of these five ships stopped the Spanish movement and forced several of the enemy to strike; Nelson’s own assertion that he and Collingwood were left unsupported for some time is not borne out by the logs of the other ships. The Prince George's fire contributed very much to the surrender of the San Nicholas and San Joseph-, they were beaten ships when Nelson boarded them so gallantly.
De Cordoba’s flagship, the Santisima Trinidad also struck, but got away in the confusion. Both fleets lay to that night, but the Spaniards refused battle next morning and Jervis did not pursue them.
BATTLE OF CAPE ST. VINCENT
217
It is quite clear that Nelson did deliberately disobey Jervis. Not only did he leave the line without permission, but he interpreted the signal for mutual support so widely that he was able to anticipate the Excellent's movement towards the Spanish weather or starboard group. As if this was not enough he began by turning his ship away from the battle, an act contrary to all British naval practice. This was disobedience on a grand scale and twenty years earlier it would probably have led to a court martial and bitter controversy. Even in his most irritated moments that great officer Hood had never done such a thing to Rodney in the American war, and Jervis was a much more formidable person. It is a measure of his greatness that he approved of Nelson’s unorthodox behaviour, the more so as Nelson was only a Commodore with three senior officers between him and the commander-in chief, and had dared to correct Jervis’s dispositions at a dangerous moment in the battle.

Victory
St. Vincent wras Nelson’s most spectacular personal triumph, but it may fairly be said that it was not his greatest victory.
All the Flag-officers and captains were awarded the gold medal originally designed for the Glorious 1st of June 1794 (Milford Haven, B.N.M. no. 428; Tancred no. 55) and used again for Camperdown. Nelson besides getting the K.B. was promoted Rear Admiral.

NUMISMATIC SOCIETIES.
Bath and Bristol N.S. At the Society’s April meeting Wyndham S. Boundy gave an illustrated talk on “ Coins and Tokens of Devon and Cornwall.” He commenced with a description of the use of Iron-Age currency bars and after mentioning the Roman cur¬ rency circulating in the region showed with the aid of slides examples of silver pennies struck at the various Anglo-Saxon and Norman mints set up in the two counties.
Mr. Boundy then reviewed the coinage issued by Thomas Bushell at the Royalist mints located in the west country and con¬ cluded his talk with a brief summary of Devon and Cornwall token coinages.
Cambridgeshire N.S. At the April meeting, two papers on widely differing subjects were read and an evening of interest was thus provided. The first paper was read by D. Stone who recounted some of his experiences in Burma during 1945 linked with the currency angle prevailing at the time. Mr. Stone first gave some details of the religious background to the peoples of the land and he illustrated his points by exhibiting ivory carvings which were greatly admired. Details of his travels then followed and the story was woven around the different currency notes issued by both the Japanese and British authorities.
J. G. Pollard, the society’s president, then read a paper on “ Some Artistic Roman Coin Types.” Mr. Pollard first dealt with the obverse portraits of the empire through the series noting in particular the growth of the realistic portrait from the idealized. Dealing then with the reverses, the personifi¬ cations were considered in some detail and several notable examples of propaganda types were cited. The paper was illustrated by a number of photographs, electrotypes, and casts.
Cheltenham N.S. The latest number of the Cheltenham Numismatic Observer contains tables of Gloucestershire mints and moneyers compiled by Percival F. Green, President of the Society, also a list of numis¬ matic books held by members.
Kent N.S. G. C. Haines, was the speaker at a meeting of the society in the Maidstone museum on April 10th. He took as his subject the “ Coinage of the Early Roman Empire,” and discussed the issues of all reigns up to that of Antoninus Pius, to show that the coins merited a high place in the study of history and art. The talk was illus¬ trated by excellent lantern slides of coins which represented the various styles of portraiture and aspects of historical record.
An exhibition was made of coins of artistic merit. L. R. A. Grove showed some Greek and Roman Republican coins; J. W. Bridge
and J. P. Dadd, a number of Imperial types with outstanding portraits; Mr. Checkley, some examples of the coins of Charles I and II, and others.
N.S. of Nottinghamshire. “ The Derby Mint ” was the subject chosen by E. W. Danson when he addressed the society’s meeting on 3rd March. He began by pre¬ senting the known history of the district from the time of Burgred of Mercia to Edgar, from which it appeared that the town not infrequently passed from Saxon to Dane and vice versa. After giving some evidence for operations of the mint in the reign of Edward the Elder, he went on to speak of the importance of the mint in Aethel- stan’s reign, when no fewer than sixteen moneyers appear on coins with the mint name, although only seven are given in the last edition of Brooke. The implications of the celebrated reverse die link between the coinages of Aethelstan and Anlaf were fully discussed and the Anlaf coins attributed to Derby reviewed.
Only two coins, one from each reign, are known with the Derby mint signature in the reigns of Edmund and Edred, but the speaker proceeded to show that coins without mint names of several moneyers striking in the reigns of Edmund, Edred, Edwig and Edgar could, with some probability, be attributed to the mint. Mr. Danson in fact spent some time in considering the main avenues of approach in attributing to their respective mints the coins of these four reigns, before the use of the mint name became universal. One local feature discussed was the appearance of the letter m in the reverse field of some of Aethelstan’s coins of the mint, and on the obverse of certain coins of Edred, Edwig and Edgar, although Mr. Danson admitted that all of the latter were certainly not struck at Derby.
After the coinage reform of Edgar, nearly all the main pre-Conquest types are known of the mint, one interesting exception apparently being the second “ Hand ” type of Aethelred. Four moneyers struck the first “ Hand ” type, and Mr. Danson wondered if it was significant that none of these struck later types.
The scarcity of specimens towards the end of the Confessor’s reign is even more pro¬ nounced in the Norman period. Only one type is known of Henry I, and the Roth specimen of type 1 of Stephen, mentioned in the British Museum Catalogue, may be of Hereford. However, Mr. Danson mentioned another specimen of this last type, from the Nottingham find of 1880, by a moneyer Willelm ( ?) and the mint name apparently reading der — a or deb — a, which the Derby mint might possibly claim Finally the
NUMISMATIC SOCIETIES
219
speaker dealt with the interesting “ swan song ” of the mint — the “ martlets ” type attributed to Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby.
Mr. Danson displayed photographs of many coins of the Derby mint, and he and other members exhibited Saxon and Norman coins, some iViidland mints, including Derby, being represented.
South Wales and Monmouthshire N.S.
Unfortunately Mr. Rahtz, who was to have given a lecture entitled “ Coins and the Archaeologist ” at the April meeting, was unable to attend.
J. E. Roberts-Lewis, substituting for him, gave a lecture entitled “ The Development of Canadian Coinage.” This dealt with the growth of Canadian currency, from the early French coins and tokens to the present decimal system. Many specimens were passed around exhibiting various aspects of the lecture. A vote of thanks was given by Col. Morrey-Salmon.
A general discussion on coin and medal collecting then took place. After looking at a fine collection of British Crowns belonging to A. Robertson as well as some Chinese dollars and more Canadian coins and tokens, the meeting ended.
Wessex N.S. Some interesting details of Southampton’s commercial history came to light when H. Good read a paper to the society at the April meeting, held at St. Peter’s Hall, Bournemouth. The subject, “ 1 7th Century Southampton Tokens ” proved to be an excellent amalgamation of the family history of the issuers, and the token coinage of that period. In 1660 the id. of Richard Cornielius was struck. Then Henry Norburn, who was apprenticed to Cornielius, married his daughter Adelaide, and followed his marital success by issuing his own token £d. in 1668. In his progress in the world of commerce he became Sheriff of Southampton in 1675, and known as Capt. Henry Norburn. Tokens were also issued by Henry Miller in 1664 who at that time lived in the village of Eastleigh.
Mr. Good had made extensive research into the history surrounding the issue of these 17th Century Tokens, and made the subject more attractive to the members by exhibiting specimens and showing slides of the rarer types.
Yorkshire N.S. Members are reminded that the society holds its Golden Jubilee Festival on June 6th, at 10.45 a.m., in the Cartwright Memorial Hall, and that tickets may be obtained from the Hon. Treasurer.
