A note from BCD: Not just a great collection of Greek coins, the likes of which a private individual could never assemble today, but also a charming, old fashioned book that when read, somehow causes our real world to fade and the past to take its place. The second part, "Imaginary Rambles in Hellenic Lands", is in this writer's opinion a never-to-be-equaled piece of writing.
