“Stackhouse, Thomas (1756-1836), educational writer and antiquary … He published a number of school textbooks on punctuation, ancient Greek society, geography, astronomy, and the use of globes, many of which were illustrated with his own drawings and diagrams. He also wrote a few theological works. His principal hobby was investigating the archaeological remains of early Britons” (ODNB)
