Dekesel B166. Lipsius 26. Mayer 58. The second title complements the author’s 1781 publication but is considerably rarer.

Akerman, J.Y. A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF RARE AND UNEDITED ROMAN COINS FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD OF THE ROMAN COINAGE, TO THE EXTINCTION OF THE EMPIRE UNDER CONSTANTINUS PALEOLOGOS. London: Effingham Wilson, 1834. Two volumes. 8vo [24 by 16.5 cm], matching 19th-century full brown polished calf; spines with five raised bands, rules in gilt; black morocco spine labels, gilt; board edges decorated in gilt; all page edges gilt. (2), xxi, (1), 506; (2), 512 pages; titles printed in red and black; 22 finely engraved plates of coins. Neatly annotated throughout in ink (see comments); inscribed to Captain William Henry Smyth by the author on a preliminary blank; gift inscription by Smyth’s widow to Rev. C. Lowndes below. A bit rubbed, but sound and attractive. Near fine. An extraordinary set of one of this prolific author’s most ambitious and popular works. Akerman, usually considered the father of the Royal Numismatic Society, was the most important figure in the early history of British numismatics. William Henry Smyth, to whom Akerman presented this set, was the author (in the same year) of Descriptive Catalogue of Roman Imperial Large-Brass Medals; he would go on to publish in 1856 an important work on the Duke of Northumberland’s collection. Akerman’s inscription reads, “To Captain Wm. Henry Smyth R.N. &c. &c. &c. with the best respects of his obliged servant J.Y. Akerman.” Captain Smythe (1788–1865), joined the navy at an early age and saw service in European, Indian, Chinese and Australian waters. He purchased coins widely, from dealers in Turkey, Greece, Italy and Africa, and also at auctions and through private contacts. This copy has been carefully annotated by Smyth with prices gleaned from Mionnet and from a list of 19 different auction sales (beginning with the Fairfax sale of 1751) given in manuscript at the beginning of the first volume. After Smyth’s death, this set was presented by his widow to Rev. C. Lowndes in 1865, “in memory of the esteem entertained for him by her lamented husband.” A wonderful association copy of this classic work. One of a small number printed with titles in red and black.
