Description
Excerpt from American Colonial History: Illustrated by Contemporary Medals
Medals are a body of history, or, perhaps, a collection of pictures in miniature, or so many maps for explaining ancient geography. One is to look upon a cabinet of Medals as a treasure, not of money, but of knowledge, and as the means by which a conqueror has sometimes ''discharged a debt to posterity, after he has ruined or defaced a strong place, by delivering a model of it, as it stood whole and entire, so as in some measure.
