The first of these heads consists of Greek and 
Roman coins. 
The Greek coins are arranged in geographical 
order, and include all those which are struck with 
Greek characters, in Greece or elsewhere, by kings, 
states or cities, which were independent of the 
Romans. With this class are placed likewise the 
coins of free states and cities, which made use of 
either the Etruscan, Roman, Punic, Spanish, or 
other characters. 
The Roman coins are placed, as far as it can be 
ascertained, in chronological order. They consist 
of the As and its divisions; Family or Consular 
coins; Imperial coins struck in Rome; Imperial 
coins struck in Egypt; Imperial coins struck with 
Greek characters, in different states and cities 
which were subject to the Romans; Imperial coins 
struck in the Roman colonies; Imperial coins 
struck with Punic characters; Contorniates. 
The second head, comprising modern coins, 
consists of Anglo-Saxon, English, Anglo-Gallic, 
Scotch, and Irish coins, and likewise the coins of 
foreign nations. This class is arranged according 
to the respective countries to which the coins be¬ 
long, those of each country being kept separate. 
The third head, which comprises a class consi¬ 
derably more modern than either of those which 
precede
