EDITORS COMMENTS
James Pettit Andrews: A Passionate Scholar of History and Antiquities This evocative portrait captures the scholarly spirit of James Pettit Andrews (1737-1797), an influential antiquary and historian of his time. Born in London, Andrews developed a deep interest in history and antiquities from a young age. His passion led him to amass an extensive collection of historical documents, coins, and artifacts, which he meticulously studied and cataloged. Andrews' expertise in numismatics, the study of coins and currency, was particularly noteworthy. He was a founding member of the Numismatic Society in London and served as its president from 1772 to 1797. His groundbreaking work on Roman and British coins, including his seminal publication "British Coins," revolutionized the field and remains a valuable resource for scholars today. As an antiquary, Andrews dedicated himself to the preservation and study of historical objects and sites. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and played a key role in the discovery and excavation of several important archaeological sites, including the Roman villa at Verulamium and the Saxon cemetery at Wroxeter. Andrews' contributions to the field of history were also significant. He wrote extensively on various historical topics, from the Roman occupation of Britain to the history of the British monarchy. His works were well-received by his contemporaries and continue to be consulted by scholars for their insight and accuracy. In this portrait, Andrews is depicted in the traditional attire of a scholar, with a quill pen in hand and an air of deep concentration on his face. The books and manuscripts surrounding him symbolize his vast knowledge and dedication to the pursuit of historical truth. Andrews' legacy as an antiquary and historian continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the past, making him an enduring figure in the annals of historical scholarship.
