Charles Octavius Swinnerton Morgan DL, JP, FRS, FSA (15 September 1803 – 5 August 1888), known as Octavius Morgan, was a British politician, historian and antiquary. In 1840, in his capacity as a JP he served on the Grand Jury at Monmouth which found John Frost and his fellow Chartists guilty of high treason.[1] He was a significant benefactor to the British Museum, in which there is a collection that is named after him.[2] Vincent and Leopold (2015:3) observed: 'The protoacademic
approach of nineteenth-century collectors,
such as Octavius Morgan (1803–1888) and Augustus Wollaston Franks (1826–1897), was instrumental to
the establishment and growth of some of the most
comprehensive collections of horology, chief among
them found in the British Museum, London.'[3]
