'The book was originally presented by Folkes to Thomas Stack. The Balliol College catalogue notes that there is an "Ink note (possibly by George Coningesby) on the front free endleaf, describing these earlier manuscript additions and taken from 'Osbornes first vol. of his catalogue, selling in 1754, 1755, &c.'" The note has been pasted in and reads:
No. 6436. Folkes’s Table of English Silver and Gold Coins \1745. 4o/ large paper. with a great number of Notes neatly inserted in the Margin, copied out of a manuscript belonging to the late Bryan Fairfax Esq, entitled, a Table of English Silver Coins from the Norman Conquest to the end of Q. Elizabeth’s reign, with their several weights and Alloys, by the Revd George North 1722. Osbornes first vol. of his Catalogue, selling in 1754, 1755, &c.
The annnotations are not very numerous and dry up after Henry VIII, and after the first few pages. They are attributed mostly to North (N), and occasionally to Bryan Fairfax (B.F—x or F--- x). They refer to the works by Lowndes and Sharp, and to a few coins in the collections of Richard Mead, the Earl of Pembroke, James West, Charles Frederick, Browne Willis, and George Holmes'
