Excerpt from A Compilation of English Silver Coins Issued Since the Conquest: With Their Values, and With Engravings In offering the third edition of this work, it is perhaps necessary to offer a few remarks. The first edition of a thousand copies and the second edition of fifteen hundred, having been rapidly disposed of, has induced -me to again print the book with considerable additions. The entire work has been re-written and the prices or values of the various coins, have been revised and brought up to date. This was requisite, owing to the very great advance in value of early English money in the past few years, more especially in the commoner varieties, owing doubtless to the numerous collectors springing up, and which may be looked for to increase as education developes itself in the community.
