E 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._ * * * * * A WORD TO THE WISE: or, HINTS ON THE CURRENT IMPROPRIETY OF EXPRESSION IN WRITING AND SPEAKING.
