Address

JEREMIAH COLBURN,

18 Somerset Street, Boston, Mass.

We rarely quote what contemporaries say of the Journal, but must deviate from our rule to give

the following from a recent number of the The Sunday School Times.

¦ THE American Journal of Numismatics has probably done more than any other single

agency to advance the interests of numismatic science in this country. To those who have no

higher idea of numismatology than a more or less systematic hoarding and trading of coins, an

investigation of such material as this Quarterly furnishes, would come with the freshness of a

revelation. Few sciences bear directly or indirectly upon so many human interests, or throw

light into so many dark corners, as this study of coins, medals, and tokens. It is the daughter

of metallurgy no less than of fine art, the handmaid of history, economics, and archaeology.

The American Journal is rich in its original matter, as well as in its selections from the

writings of the highest authorities at home and abroad. It comes in fine dress, clearly printed

on heavy paper, usually with a frontispiece illustration. With the July number, it enters upon

the twenty-third volume. Published by the Boston Numismatic Society, at 18 Somerset Street,

Boston, Mass. Price, $2 a year.
