It is not clear why the collection was divided into two volumes, as the headings repeat themselves. Perhaps they represent different periods of the collection? For example, if only the first volume was by Bonnet, then the second would represent later acquisitions.'
(Burnett 2020b, p. 1549)
A critical review of two recent books by Dodwell and Walker.
'A detailed critique of Dodwell's Camden lectures. Bonnet was critical of Dodwell’s ready acceptance of dubious coins, and gave a set of criticisms of certain passages: for example, writing at length on the date at which Trajan took the name Optimus, and criticising him for making mistakes, such as when he said Otho and Vitellius were not recognised on the coinage of Alexandria.'

'Rundle has shown that the coins catalogued in Charles Brent’s catalogue of 1718 were not his gift to the college, as had previously been inferred from the inscription on the flyleaf: ‘Liber Ædis Christi Ex dono Car. Brent. A.M. A.D. 1718,’ since the coins are mostly those already catalogued 30 years before by Hannes. Brent’s ‘gift’ was, like Hannes’s, his catalogue. Brent had given a few coins in 1717, but only three coronation medals, of Charles II, James II and George I.<br>
Brent’s catalogue is dated 1718, and it replaced [[Hannes,_Edward_-_Aedis_Christi_Numismata|the Hannes catalogue of 1686]]. Brent had previously worked on the Hannes catalogue, marking coins that were missing and adding a few coins and some comments. The new catalogue was, of course, more up to date than its predecessor, and it was rather more accurate, but it is less interesting than its earlier counterpart.<br>
Brent had clearly reorganised the collection, which must be why he produced the new catalogue. Hannes’s catalogue had followed an organisation of the coins by emperor, and, within each emperor’s reign, he had had marked the coins as either being silver (AR) or bronze (AE). Brent, following these indications made by Hannes, had decided to divide the collection by metal, and the numbering of the trays shows that they were now housed in two cabinets (one each for silver and bronze).<br>
As with the Hannes catalogue, the Brent catalogue summarises the collection at the beginning of the volume. The numbers do not quite fit with the details of his catalogue, but are very close:
Nov<sup>bis</sup> 26. 1718. Reperiuntur in Scrinijs Nummarijs Bibliothecae Aedis Christi Nummi Antiqui in universum. 488. sc.<br>
3 Aurei, quorum duo Laminati<br>
5 Argentei Græci<br>
41 Argentei Rom’ Consularis 2 Arg. Incerti<br>
2 Argentei Rom’ Impp.<br>
1 Aereus Græcus<br>
126 Aerei Romani<br>
488
The similarity of the totals between the 1686 and 1718 catalogues, however, disguises considerable changes to the collection. As noted above, Brent had marked 39 coins as missing in the Hannes catalogue, and three more were also unaccounted for in 1718. However, a considerable number of new coins had also been acquired. One cannot be too exact about the figure, given some of the uncertainties which arise in comparing the two catalogues: some coins which are probably the same are described somewhat differently, and many—perhaps all?—of Hannes’s ‘Nummi Incerti’ have been assigned new places, and others cannot always be tracked. With such caveats, however, it seems that nine Republican and about 42 Roman Imperial coins had been added. There is no very pronounced pattern to the new imperial arrivals, though most of them were denarii of the second or early third century. They are probably the ‘Novem numismata antiqua quorum tria sunt argentea, caetera aerea’ [nine ancient coins, of which three are silver and the rest bronze], given by John King of London in 1691 and the ‘Quadraginta circiter melioris notae numismata’ [approximately 40 coins of a better type] presented by the young Browne Willis in 1703. Despite the description of the latter as being ‘of a better type,’ Willis was much later reported as stating that ‘that the Coins he gave to Christ Church were only Duplicates,’ from which Thomas Hearne concluded, ‘so that I apprehend they are very inconsiderable.’'

-Lettre du 12 mars 1749 (de Plough Inn, Londres): He encloses a Saxon coin of King Edgar struck at York. He gives the cost of this and the small silver medal pieces, and the value of the Irish money of James 2. He refers to the Eustachius pieces and asks whether one or both are in C.C.C. library which he has minuted as being there among Stephen’s coins in his cabinet. He has the traders’ tokens of Oxford from Humph. Bodecote and John Tey, and asks him to see if these make our Oxford tokens up to 38. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawl. C. 989, f° 7). +
'… I hope you have had y<sup>r</sup> Coins home, & shall rejoyce if I can help you finish so good a Beginning. I gave this day a Guinea for a Portculis Crown of Queen Elizabeth. Persons are Idly Extravagant & there is no coming at particular peices but on such Terms. I was last night with a Clubb of Antiquaries, but I said nothing a<sup>bt</sup> Mr Welham’s collection, & am exceedingly enjoyed they are got into y<sup>r</sup> good hands, & I pray you to secure \all the rest of/ the Gold. I can in May 20<sup>th</sup> get half a crown for every thing before James the Firsts Time.'

'I workt hard & drew up what is on the other side this morning [Part of the letter is a draft of his ''A Table of the old Coins of the Kings of England'', not quite as printed in 1733]. It requires more time & thought & to see more Cabinets than I have gone thro: tho: I have penciled down every thing, & where I see what I remark. I am very glad you have got Mr Welham’s Hoard, I hope besides what I viewed you will get the other Gold peices – I fancy I could \to good advantage/ chaffer any duplicates – you had a<sup>bt</sup> 12 pretty peices. I observed the Portcullis Crown of Eliz: was one but there were others I should better prize – I heartily hope it may be in my power to help good Dr Bettesworth in any respect & shew my gratitude.'

'I hope you rec’d the account I sent you of the \respective/ Gold Coins minted in each Reign – our Antiquary Society proposes to print it shortly & then I hope to make you a present of it. I shall be very glad to hear your Treasure encreases, & wish you \may/ have the choice of several valuable peices. ... I have got some few Gold Coins of late of the collector of the Excise but no very uncommon pieces. They will be all travelled to the mints where will be a vast stock but they tell me none will be to be disposed of till the year is out viz. a<sup>bt</sup> 8 months hence, when some Thousand pounds may be purchased, tho: very likely some may by favour be procured sooner. I have of late run thro: several things a<sup>bt</sup> our coin & find I have omitted Two Gold Peices of Henry the 8th viz. His quarter Angel, one of wch broke lose(?) in these parts last Saturday, they(?) day ///////; Twas minted not long before his death. I had the half Angel \before/ the Legend of which is ''Henric viii di gr Rex A’gliae'' R/ ''o crux Ave Spes Unica''. The quarter Angel has on one side ''Henricus viii di Gra: A’glie'': reverse ''Francie z Hibernie Rex''. The other peice of His is the George Noble which is as described to me like His Angel that has the George on horseback instead of <s>the Angel</s> St Michael standing over the dragon. I hope to have a particular acc<sup>t</sup> of this coin, & I trust good Mr Dean will pardon my interrupting Him, especialy as I have another thing to mention…'

'I was very glad I rec’d y<sup>r</sup> kind letter being allways thankfull for your \continued/ favours which I can never repay. I wish it may be in my power to make you the least return. I rejoyce Mr Conduit thinks of you among the first; the peices He has at the Tower consist of some few of Henry 8th, more of Edwd 6, & Queen Elizabeth, but most of all, of James & Charles the First – whatever peices you can pick up of Henry 8<sup>th</sup> or Edw<sup>d</sup> 6 weighing 7<sup>sh</sup> or 4<sup>sh</sup>, or 5<sup>sh</sup>, you may lay hold of: these little peices or quarters are very scarce & pretty uncommon, the weight will direct you; all the peices in the Tower are of the Standard Gold, there were none took in that were of the Fine Gold, as the Angels Ryals double Ryals George Nobles Spur Ryals & such curious peices. I am told there are abundance of James & Charles the First in [choi]cest preservation, if you take a double set of these, every [ ... ] will be glad to give you the cost w<sup>th</sup> the utmost thanks. I am infinitely thankfull you are so generous to make me (who are at such a distance) so kind an offer I cannot direct a<sup>bt</sup> it otherwise than that I should rejoyce to get fairer peices for several I have, which I must keep to preserve my sett, till I can part with them for others of better preservation. As to the more Ancient peices I hope to describe them so by weight & otherwise in each Reign that the Gold may easily be known. I presume you have Mr Lowndes’s Essay which describes the weights in several reigns. I am now essaying to make a calendar of the Gold Coins with their weights in every reign but I find it will take up some time to compleat; if I live to finish it, it is heartily at y<sup>r</sup> service with any thing else in my power. As to antient Gold peices before Queen Elizabeth’s time no one can be a Loser by accumulating them if they come for a small matter above their weight the Fineness of the Gold in the Angels Nobles Ryals &c will over & above ballance the purchases of them so then I need say nothing on the particular but to recommend a Freind to secure th[e] peices. … [talks of the problems of acquiring silver] … I have spent of many Bargains of this kind because had I not been over Lavish in my I might have supplyed my Freinds, however I hope it may still be in my power if I have the opportunity to look into hords as I now & then have in private purses; these were very numerous before 1696 the calling in of the clipt money; but are now not common.'
(Gloucestershire Archives, D340a/C35; Burnett 2020b, p. 1654)
'I make bold to trouble you with a question which I humbly pray a line to. You was so generous as to give me hopes by your Interest with Mr Conduit Warden of the Mint you w<sup>d</sup> try to get mee some of the Broad gold when you traffickt for y<sup>r</sup> self – Tis now grown so scarce a Commodity that not one piece is to be seen or heard of in the country. If you have been so good \as to think of me/ I shall be exceedingly obliged and will if you Honour me with a line forthwith send up the purchase of them. I greatly want the smallest peices of all of Edw<sup>d</sup> the 6 & some of King James & K Charles’s Gold in better preservation as well as some particular peices.'
(Gloucestershire Archives, D340a/C35; Burnett 2020b, p. 1654) +
'… [long account of gold coins, about the history of gold coinage] … [ ] shall be above measure thankfull & rejoyced if any such coins & peices can be added as I hope an Half Crown \in Gold/ of Edw<sup>d</sup> 6 may. I fancy the 14<sup>th</sup> peice of James 1<sup>st</sup> may be met wth for Mr Cartliche shewed me some of them, but I fear Mr Conduit will keep them for himself & the Queen &c and so will not help you but this is y<sup>r</sup> list of I live to come to town again. I hope to get somewhat of Mr Cartliche.'
