- Mr Edwards of Great St Helens, Bishopsgate, London, conducted occasional one-day auctions at Tom's Coffee-House, Cornhill, at least from 1798 through 1800. The catalogues are trifling affairs, four to seven pages long with about a hundred lots of paintings, jewelry, books, wine, olives, &c., described with wonderful vagueness. No Christian name of the auctioneer is ever vouchsafed in the catalogues and advertisements I have seen. There is no reason to suppose that this Mr Edwards is related to the Edwards family of Halifax; his sales are listed here merely to distinguish them from those of the relevant Edwardses.
