EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Reverend Richard Southgate: A Scholar of Numismatics and the Church Richard Southgate (1729-1795) was a renowned figure in the intellectual circles of 18th-century England, distinguished for his dual roles as a Church of England clergyman and a dedicated numismatist. Born in London on May 1, 1729, Southgate's life was marked by a deep commitment to both the study of ancient coins and the practice of his Christian faith. This evocative portrait captures the essence of Southgate's scholarly persona. Dressed in the robes of a clergyman, he gazes intently at an open book, his hand resting on a coin, symbolizing the harmonious blend of his two passions. Southgate's extensive knowledge of numismatics, the study of ancient coins, was renowned in his time, and he was a founding member of the prestigious Numismatic Society of London in 1753. Southgate's religious vocation began in 1757 when he was ordained a deacon in the Church of England. He went on to serve various parishes and was eventually appointed Rector of St. Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, in 1780. His religious duties did not hinder his numismatic pursuits, as he continued to write and publish works on ancient coins and their historical significance. One of Southgate's most significant contributions to numismatics was his publication of "A Catalogue of the Coins in the Cabinet of the Late Sir Hans Sloane, Baronet," which was published posthumously in 1794. This comprehensive catalog of the coins in the collection of Sir Hans Sloane, a renowned collector, is still considered a valuable resource for numismatists today. Southgate's life serves as a testament to the enduring power of intellectual curiosity and the ability to balance multiple passions. This portrait encapsulates the essence of a man whose dedication to the study of ancient coins and the practice of his faith left a lasting impact on the intellectual landscape of 18th-century England.
