1865176296London: Day & Son Limited 1865. The discovery of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world First edition of this account of excavations at Mitylene Rhodes Kalymnos and various sites on the coast of Asia Minor. This includes the discovery of the ancient city of Halicarnassus and its famous mausoleum recounted in detail in the second volume. Following graduation from Oxford "Newton entered the British Museum in 1840 as assistant in the department of antiquities under Edward Hawkins. Here he took advantage of the opportunity to study a wide range of antiquities firsthand including coins and acquired a thorough training in curatorship. In 1852 Newton resigned from the British Museum on appointment as vice-consul at Mytilene. From April 1853 to January 1854 he served as acting consul at Rhodes. In addition to consular duties he was authorised to serve the interests of the museum by acquiring antiquities through excavation and purchase. His excavations on Kalymnos in 1854 and 1855 financed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the British ambassador at Constantinople yielded many inscriptions for the British Museum. Also in 1855 he unearthed the bronze serpent from Delphi in the hippodrome at Constantinople and visited Bodrum ancient Halicarnassus for the first time. After a second visit in the following spring he obtained a government grant of £2000 together with naval and military support for an expedition to retrieve some lions from the mausoleum immured in the castle of St Peter and to excavate the site of the mausoleum itself" ODNB. Newton became the first keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities in 1861. He was closely involved in the foundation of three highly influential archaeological institutions: the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies to which he gave an inaugural address in June 1879; the Egypt Exploration Fund founded in 1882; and the British School at Athens opened in November 1886.

1865152733London: Day & Son Limited 1865. Presentation copy with letter First edition presentation copy inscribed on the front free endpaper of vol. I "Gaisford from the author Feb 1866" and with a 6-page autograph letter signed from the author loosely inserted. The letter headed British Museum 10 January 1852 details Newton leaving his position in the British Museum to take up a role as vice-consul at Mytilene. "My dear Sir you will probably be surprised to hear that I am going to leave the British Museum and also England. I have for some time wishes to exchange my present location for one where I could have more leisure time for literary pursuits & a warmer climate for my health has suffered from residence in London. After a good deal of deliberation I thought that if I could get a small Consulship in the Levant when the official duties were not very heavy I should be enabled to pursue archaeology by the study of remains in situ". Newton goes on to detail the circumstances of his being awarded the position. The recipient of the volumes was a member of the Gaisford family headed by the classical scholar and Dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford Thomas Gaisford 1779-1855 to whom the letter is probably addressed Newton notes his hope to visit Oxford soon. Thomas Gaisford was deceased by the time of the book's presentation and consequently the recipient of the volumes is likely one of his seven children who would have paired them with the letter. The volumes originate from the Gaisford family home of Howth Castle near Dublin. Newton worked as vice-consul at Mytilene from 1852 to early 1853 then as acting consul at Rhodes from April 1853 to January 1854. In both positions he was authorized to undertake considerable archaeological excavations and purchases for the British Museum which he followed by excavations in Kalymnos in 1854 and 1855 financed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the British ambassador at Constantinople. The present book gives his account of these travels and excavations. On his return he became the first keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the Museum in 1861. He was closely involved in the foundation of three highly influential archaeological institutions: the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies to which he gave an inaugural address in June 1879; the Egypt Exploration Fund founded in 1882; and the British School at Athens opened in November 1886. 2 vols tall octavo. Folding map frontispiece to each 12 lithographic plates from photographs by Francis Bedford after drawings by Newton and his wife 20 plates one of which folding the majority etched after photographs by Colnaghi and Spackman 2 double- and 2 full-page maps one double- and 2 full-page plans numerous wood-engraved illustrations to the text.
