TENTH EDITION OF EVANS’ ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE U. S. MINT
EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES.
_DAILY HERALD._
A very interesting History of the United States Mint is published by the author, George G. Evans, of this city. The introduction gives an account of the money of the past and the present, showing what formed the circulatory medium in ancient times and in all countries. This is followed by a history of coinage in this country, with biographical sketches of the past and present officers of our Mint. The whole process of melting, assaying, refining and coining gold and silver is very lucidly explained; it is also fully illustrated with engravings as a further explanation of the text. There are a large number of phototypes of ancient and modern coins, Continental money, etc., etc., the whole forming a very readable book, and one which fills a gap in our country’s history.
_PHILADELPHIA TIMES._
It is the only complete and authentic History of the Mint and Coinage Manual that is to be had, and is a valuable contribution to our national as well as our local history. It embraces everything that one could expect to find in such a volume, and a good deal which agreeably surprises the reader.
_EVENING TELEGRAPH._
Mr. Evans’ book gives a complete history of American coinage, describing the obverse and reverse of each piece struck at the Mint since its establishment in 1792. The work is finely gotten up in every respect.
Copies of the above sent post-paid on receipt of price. _A Handsome Gift_ will accompany each book.
Paper Covered Edition, price $ .50 Cloth, Gold Side Stamp 1.00 Half Morocco, Marbled Edge 2.00
N. B.—Any book published, the retail price of which is 50 cents or more, will be promptly sent post-paid, with a gift, on receipt of the advertised price.
