New Punic Punditry
With the long awaited editio princeps of a portion of the Roman-era neo-Punic texts from Henchir Maktar (Tunisia), this large and fairly homogeneous corpus of primarily dedicatory and funerary inscriptions is finally being made available to the scholarly world in a modern publication with serviceable photographs. Although many of these texts have in the meantime been studied extensively, most recently by Jongeling (2008), this edition is-due to w…
Gentleman's House: Or, How to Plan English Residences, from the Parsonage to the Palace
Work engagement and its association with occupational sitting time: Results from the Stormont study
Being actively engaged in one's work is associated with lower occupational sitting times for men (vigor and dedication) and to a limited extent for women (vigor only). This suggests that interventions such as introducing sit-stand workstations to reduce sitting times, may be beneficial for work engagement
The Gentleman's House: Or, How to Plan English Residences, from the Parsonage to the Palace
After Scottish architect Robert Kerr (1823–1904) published this book in 1864, he was given a commission to build what would become his best-known work, Bearwood House, in Berkshire, for the then proprietor of The Times of London, John Walter. Kerr gives a thorough explanation of the elements involved in the planning and building of a 'comfortable English Residence of the better sort' in this book, which is divided into five parts. The first gives…

Further Unpublished Scottish Communion Tokens
Scottish Episcopal Communion Tokens
A corrected and augmented list of Episcopal tokens, together with an outline of the history of Episcopacy in Scotland
Communion Tokens of the Free Church of Scotland
A catalogue of several hundred tokens is presented. They were used by congregations to provide entrance to communion. In most respects, the communion tokens of the Free Church of Scotland are very similar to those which were in use contemporaneously in the Church of Scotland. The use of lead-tin alloys was almost invariable. Exceptions include brass, aluminium, and very uncommonly wood. They show little variation in shape and the majority are ins…
Communion Tokens of the Church of Scotland: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
A catalogue of more than thirteen hundred is presented. Only those tokens which are of special rarity or interest have been illustrated. The transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century produced no immediate change in the form, material, or design of the communion token. Some congregations, refusing to be influenced by changes in fashion, deliberately retained early shapes and styles down to the twentieth century. As the nineteenth ce…
Unpublished Tokens of the Church of Scotland: With an Alphabetical List of Tokens
Communion tokens discovered over the last thirty years are published here and are intended as a supplement to the earlier group of over 1400 published by Brook in the Proceedings of 1906-7
Two hoards of silver coins found at Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, and at Dunblane, Perthshire

A second hoard discovered at Dunblane during quarrying comprised 91 silver pennies of which 86 were English, 3 were Scottish and 2 were Irish. Two of the English coins were forgeries. The date of the latest was 1324
