Note. — I have not any books of reference at hand to enable me to determine 

 whether the two Coins, whose legends are transcribed below, have been published 

 in any of the numerous continental works on Samani money ; but their association 

 in date and in proximity of place of issue with certain of the earlier Coins of the 

 present series, as well as the illustration they afford of the distribution of the terri- 

 torial tenures of the day, will, under any circumstances, render their insertion in 

 this place appropriate.

1849. I need not here enter into the several questions raised by my Critic, but 

 I may candidly plead guilty to one of the two, I am proud to say the only two 

 objections taken against me. For the rest the notice is most encouraging for my 

 further efforts ! and is altogether written in so kindly a spirit as to demand my 

 warmest acknowledgments.
