| Summary | "A Guide to the Exhibition of English Medals" by Herbert A. Grueber is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the medals exhibited at the British Museum, particularly focusing on their historical significance rather than artistic merit. It provides a detailed exploration of English medals spanning over three centuries, offering insights into the notable figures and events they commemorate. The opening of the text introduces the purpose and scope of the exhibition, emphasizing that the medals are significant records of English history. The introduction outlines how the medals have been selected for their historical interest, detailing their chronological arrangement and providing specific descriptions, materials, and dimensions for each piece. This section also outlines the categorization of medals, reflecting their production methods and artistic influences, establishing a foundation for the more in-depth discussions that will follow later in the guide.
