MONOGRAPHS
Millingen, James. Ancient Coins of Greek Cities and Kings. From Various Collections Principally in Great Britain. London 1831. 77 pages + index, 5 plates of engravings. Bound with Sylloge of Ancient Unedited Coins of Greek Cities and Kings. London 1837. 87 pages + "additional observations," + index, 4 plates of engravings. 4to (24x30.5cm), blue cloth, gilt spine letters. Dedication on both title pages, label gum residue on spine, some pages and plates lightly foxed. Good. Leitzmann 90
A note from BCD: Millingen is still an enjoyable read and when it comes to the engravings it surprises us how accurate some of them are. Here we have two of his works and for some reason they seem to always occur bound together in one volume.
