Notes From Samuel Lysons' Collection of Gloucestershire Antiquities (1803).

Samuel Lysons (1763-1819) was the son of the Rev. Samuel Lysons and Mary Peach Lysons of Gloucestershire, England. Lysons began studying law in Bath in 1780. He relocated to London, was called to the bar in 1798, then served as Keeper of the Records in London from 1803 until his death in 1819. Samuel was also an engraver and antiquary, serving as Director of the Society of Antiquaries from 1798 to 1809. He illustrated his brother Daniel's Environs of London, and the two collaborated on Magna Britannia, Being a Concise Topographical Account of the Several Counties of Great Britain, published in several volumes from 1806 to 1822. The work was cut short by Samuel's death in 1819.
