This special issue eruditely demonstrates the deep interconnections between British antiquarianism, natural philosophy and medicine in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These stimulating papers, representing the state of the field, include: analysis of classical antecedents for balneology; Sir Isaac Newton’s attempts to restore the prisca sapientia and use of mathematics to reform knowledge of antiquity; editors and autograph collectors who preserved the still extant correspondence (and hence the intellectual geography and networks) of early modern antiquaries; and the re‐enactment of ancient landscapes and relics using geological theory and three‐dimensional museum exhibits. As Susan Pearce pointed out, Jeremiah Milles, in his presidential address to the Society of Antiquaries in 1781, remarked that ‘History, Science and Art may claim an equal share in the Attention and Labour of the Antiquary’. 1Antiquarianism also involved something more: inspired discernment. William Stukeley, the famous eighteenth‐century antiquary, observed that ‘[i] n the study of Antiquities, as in all others, judgment, genius is necessary’. 2 As genius and interdisciplinarity were often inherent to antiquarian pursuits, I will discuss more generally antiquarianism and what it constituted in this period, before analysing its particular relationship to natural philosophy in the Royal Society.
