Scope and content
Mostly notes taken by Gowland from published works, on a variety of metals.
- Uncorrected proof of table of 'Analyses extracted from the paper for reference', from Gowland's 'Shiromé, a Japanese metallurgical by-product, and its relation to the purity of Japanese copper and the presence of arsenic in bronze', published under a slightly different title in Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry 13 (1894), pp. 463-470.
- Notes, manuscript, concerning analyses of various metals.
Together on a treasury tag.
- Empty paper wrapper, marked 'Localities' on the front, and 'Gold in Prehistoric and protohistoric times' on the back, in a hand which appears frequently throughout Gowland's notes, is not Gowland's own.
This may have contained notes towards an article intended to be part 2 of the paper which was published in Archaeologia in 1918 and was specifically part 1. However, no reference was made to a prospective 'part 2' either in the account of Gowland's reading of the paper to an Ordinary Meeting, 30 May 1918 (Proceedings 2 ser, XXX (1917-18), 222-24) or in Archaeologia.
- manuscript transcript of pp 18-26 of 'The Ancient Gold Fields of Africa' by J.M. Stuart 1891', with a note 'B.M. 07109 l.3' [the British Library shelfmark for a copy of Stuart's work].
- Letter from F[rancis] Haverfield to Gowland, 25 July [no year], reporting the find in the fort at Richborough [Kent] of an inscribed silver ingot, which he hopes Gowland will analyse.
- Cutting of article by E Babelon, 'Lingots monétaires (lateres)', Monthly Numismatic Circular - Spink & Sons, July 1901, cols 4734-4737; annotated by Gowland 'For silver paper'. 2 sheets.
- Cutting of article by W Boyd Dawson, 'The influence of the Mediterranean peoples in Prehistoric Britain', Nature no 1672, vol 65, 14 November 1901, pp 39-40. 1 sheet.
- A print of a Japanese metal-working subject, on card.
