NAMES ON THE OLD ANS BUILDING

  We never had a satisfactory answer to our recent quiz
  question about the names carved in stone on the old
  American Numismatic Society building in New York.
  Lo and behold, the complete answer comes to us in a
  sidebar to an article on the old building by Joseph Ciccone
  in the Summer 2004 (vol 3, no. 2) issue of American
  Numismatic Society Magazine (p23).

  I won't still the beans all at once, but will use the list as
  an opportunity for future quizzes.  The first name is
  someone who lived from 1737 to 1798, and "is
  considered by many to be the founder of the science of
  classical numismatics."  His "major achievement is the
  eight-volume Doctrina Nummorum Veterum..."
  Who is he?
