This article appears in Volume V22, Page 72 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POOLE, REGINALD STUART (1832-1895) , English archaeologist and orientalist, was. born in London on the 27th of January 183 2. His father was the Rev.
Edward
  Poole, a well-known bibliophile. His mother, Sopha, authoress of The Englishwoman in
Egypt
  (1844), was the sister of E. W. Lane, the Arabic scholar, with whom R. S. Poole lived in Cairo from 1842 to 1849, thus imbibing an early
taste
  for Egyptian antiquities. In 1852 he became an assistant in the British Museum, and was assigned to the department of coins and medals, of ;which in 1870 he became, keeper. In that capacity he did
work
  of the highest value, alike as a writer, teacher and
administrator
 . In 1882 he was largely responsible for
founding
  the
Egypt
  Exploration Fund, and in 1884 for starting the Society of English Medallists. He retired in 1893, and died on the 8th of February 1895. Some of Poole's best
work
  was done in his articles for the Ency. Brit. (9th ed.) on Egypt, Hieroglyphics
Wales. The place became, for a time, famous as a meeting place for neo-Druidic gatherings. Pontypridd was an insignificant
village
  till the opening of the Taff Vale railway into the town in 1840, and it owed its progress chiefly to the development of the coal areas of the Rhondda Valley, for which
district
  it serves as the market town and
chief
  business centre. It also possesses anchor, chain, and cable works, chemical works, and iron and brass foundries. Pontypridd has, jointly with Rhondda, a stipendiary
magistrate
  since 1872.
