An Historical Account of the origin of Coined Money, the
development of the Art of Coining in Greece and her Colonies, its
progress during the extension of the Roman Empire, and its decline
as an art with the decay of that power. By HENRY NOEL HUMPHREYS,
Author of "THE COINS OF ENGLAND."
"It is a condensation of all that is known respecting the coins of
ancient nations and a lucid and well-arranged narrative of monetary
history. A novel and excellent mode of illustration has been adopted,
representing the coins in exact facsimile in gold, silver, and copper,
produced by casts from the originals, many of which would be quite
unattainable, and all costly."--_Art Journal._
"It is needless to remark how desirable an addition such a work as this
must be to the library of the historian, the classical scholar, and the
clergyman, no less than to the artist. Its peculiar adaptedness as a
prize for classical schools is also sufficiently obvious."--_Daily
News._
