Notes From Elsewhere
Reginald Stuart Poole (27 January 1832 – 8 February 1895) was an English archaeologist, numismatist and orientalist
In 1852 he became an assistant in the British Museum, and was assigned to the department of coins and medals, of which in 1870 he became keeper. In that capacity he did work of the highest value, alike as a writer, teacher and administrator. In 1882 he was largely responsible for founding the Egypt Exploration Fund, and in 1884 for starting the Society of English Medallists. He was for some time professor of archaeology at University College, London; and also lecturer at the Royal Academy. In 1883 he received an honorary degree from Cambridge University
