Excerpt from The Antiquities and Curiosities of the Exchequer

I do not know why I should have been selected, for, although I have no doubt taken a great interest in archaeology, it has rather been that of pre-historic times. Perhaps, however, it is partly because my friend, Mr. Gomme, knows that I should wish to do anything he asks me, and partly because I have been for many years a member, and was for some time chairman, of the Public Accounts Committee, and may therefore be supposed to know something of the subject dealt with in the first volume.
