antiquarian

Was there in this formalism a life which escapes us, as we handle the dry bones of antiquarianism?

But there is perhaps as much worthless historical Speculation as trifling Antiquarianism extant in literature.

For Cosway's wonderful collection of articles of art, antiquarianism, and vertû, Hazlitt has only good-natured banter.

Nowhere perhaps is antiquarianism more fascinating than in the sphere of religion.
