"Mr. URBAN,"
"IN passing through Keswick, in order to visit its celebrated lake, I met with some coins, in the possession of Mr. Crosthwaite, who exhibits an interesting little museum there, He informed me, that they had been deposited in a leaden vessel, and were discovered in the village of Dean, about twelve miles West of Keswick, by a cow's treading upon the spot where it lay concealed, Mr. Crosthwaite procured eleven, bearing the mark of a cross, and twenty of different sizes and various impressions, but similar in coinage to that in Plate III. No.9, which I have endeavoured to give a representation of. I have taken the exact size of the coins described; and all of those (excepting No 3), having Saxon characters, were in excellent preservation; some of the other class had suffered. The inscription upon No 1 appeared to me to be LAMBERTUS IMPE; reverse, CHRISTIANA RELIGIO: No 2, BORACE; the reverse I could not read: No 3, ERIR..ENER; reverse ... No 4. SC. (perhaps SANCTUS) EADMUND R.; reverse, BERA MONETs. No 5, S. CEAIDN.; which I conjecture to be a coin of the last monarch, as also the three with Saxon characters, not represented, as they seem to vary only by the change of one or two letters, and the name of the moneyers. No 6, PILM REX; reverse, C. IMNELR: supposing this to be William's, it differs from any I have seen represented. Nos 7 and 8 were decidedly of Edward's, and the characters perfectly distinct."
"In hopes that this communication, respecting so extraordinary a mixture of coins, may be interesting to some of your correspondents, and that intelligence may be conveyed through the channel of your useful Magazine concerning them, I take the liberty to trouble you; and am, with respect,"
"A LOVER OF ANTIQUITIES."
