Ivan Donald Margary (1896-1976), was a historian who, during his lifetime, was the leading authority on Roman roads in Great Britain. Margary's primary gift to the study of Roman roads was the development of a catalogue system known as Margary numbers, numbering Roman roads so that they could be referred to by catalogue number with no sign of confusion, and to allow cross referencing of the same road between different studies and authors. In later life he financed the excavation of Fishbourne Roman Palace, near Chichester in West Sussex. This is his seminal book on the Roman Roads of S. E. England. Osbert Guy Stanhope Crawford (1886-1957), was a British archaeologist who specialised in the archaeology of prehistoric Britain and Sudan. A keen proponent of aerial archaeology, he spent most of his career as the archaeological officer of the Ordnance Survey (OS) and also wrote and edited a range of books on archaeological subjects. A classic and quite a scarce book.
