THE DEVONSHIRE COLLECTION.--In reply to the inquiry of Mr. Willis's
correspondent, "A Young Numismatist," ("Current Notes" for December, p.
95), he is informed that the Duke of Devonshire's Collection of Coins
was sold by auction a few years ago, and produced a very inconsiderable
sum, to the surprise of everybody. This was accounted for by the
manner in which the Coins were catalogued. It was well known as "The
Devonshire Collection."
