Présentation de l'éditeur

The increased interest taken during the few last years inN umismatic pursuits, not only among those who have made them their peculiar study, but also by a widely spread class of the literary public, would serve perhaps as a sufficient apology for the compilation of the present work, even if the subject being, as it is, so closely connected with the narratives of theO ld and New Testament did not possess a claim to attention, in some respects superior to that so willingly conceded to other works of a similar but pinrely ethnical character. With this view I have ventured to lay before the public the result of a careftd examination of the best and latest works of the continental writers on Jewish coins, with considerable additions of my own, by the aid of which it is hoped that both the numismatist and theological student may obtain, in a condensed and methodized form, a correct view of the present state of our knowledge in respect to Jewish and Biblical Numismatics. It is as well, however, to state that not one of the writers consulted has embraced the entire range of the subject of the Jewish Coinage.
