Biography edit

Madden was born in the British Museum on 9 April 1839. He attended Merchant Taylors', St Paul's and Charterhouse Schools. He became an assistant in the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum in 1861, and remained there until 1868. He resigned under a cloud, after an investigation of his sale of duplicate Roman coins in a donation by Edward Wigan.[1]

Madden then worked on various International Exhibitions. In 1874 he became Secretary and Librarian to Brighton College, and from 1888 to 1902 he was Chief Librarian of the Public Library in Brighton.[1]

He died at Holt Lodge, Brighton on 21 June 1904.[3]
