ON JOHN ADAMS' ADMIRAL VERNON MEDALS WORK

Alan Luedeking writes: "I was very interested to learn about
John Adams' upcoming work on Admiral Vernon medals,
in connection with the discussion on Betts' magnificent
work; Admiral Vernon medals have a rich tradition in
numismatic literature: there are the great studies undertaken
since Betts, including Bartolomé Mitre's "Medallas de Vernon"
in 1904, José Toribio Medina's "Las Medallas del Almirante
Vernon" in 1919, both of which greatly expanded on Betts'
work, as well as Leander McCormick-Goodhart's article
published in "Numismatic Review" in 1945. Then there is
Jorge Ferrari's superb article on Vernon medals to which an
entire issue of the "Cuadernos de Numismática" was dedicated
(Vol. XVIII, No. 77, Buenos Aires, June, 1991). This issue
also contains an article by Betts (translated to Spanish by
A. J. Cunietti-Ferrando) and the first study of Vernon medals
undertaken by Edward Hawkins in London in the 1860's
but published posthumously in 1885, then translated to
Spanish by Alejandro Rosa and printed by Martín Biedma
of Buenos Aires in 1893. I am exceedingly curious to see
what new contributions Mr. Adams will make to this
exciting specialty."
