CATALOGUE OF ENGLISH WORKS ON NUMISMATICS.
1SV RICHARD H. CAWRENCE.
In the compilation of the following- cata- logue many works have been consulted, not only bibliographical dictionaries, but a num- ber of numismatic publications as well. In many cases the books themselves have been examined and their title pages accurately copied. We are aware that there will be some omissions and mistakes, but it is hoped that they may be few and unimportant.
We have purposely excluded all works which treat of money as a medium of ex- change; also all books in which coins are re- ferred to indirectly.
At some future period we inted to publish an index to the numismatic periodicals, with references to articles on coins in other maga- zines. All contributions towards this end will be thankfully received. It is necessary only to state the title of the article, the name of the writer(whcn it is known), and the maga- zine in which it is found, with number of page and year.

THE OBAN OF JAPAN.
BY DR.' E. MARIS.
This medal coin of which there are at least three specimens in this country, is oval in shape but variable in size. The specimen in the U. S. Mint measures 6 in. by. 3 5-8 in., and weighs 5.30 oz. It is an alloy of gold with silver, 667 fine; value, $75.25. Its date is 1660, and it was purchased in i860 for the mint cabinet, at a cost of $95.00, from J. S. Thomas.
The face of the piece, is covered with sym- metrical ovoid lozenge shaped flutings, and stamped at each end and both sides with Japanese characters. The reverse is plain,
! and like the face is stamped with characters ; in circular rings of different sizes. They also differ from each other more less, as well as from the face. A large black character ol elaborate finish is inked upon the face. This is said to be the coiner’s certificate of value.
Some years ago, it is alleged that these pieces were not allowed to be taken from the country. In case they were so taken know- ingly the penalty was death: in case it was by accident it was imprisonment.
It seems needless to add that the statement that a temple in Japan was roofed with obans, which were visible a thousand miles distant, savors of Oriental imagining — or it may be of that which inspires the visionary imagina- tions of those who live nearer the rising of the sun than we do.

PORI ROUS BRIDGE .TOKENS.
We extract the following paragraph from one of the last numbers of the “Canadian An- tiquarian and Numismatic Journal:" “An account (at the society’s meeting) was given of a recent visit to Repentigny, in search of the site of the Porteous Bridges, constructed by Mr. Tomas Porteous, an enterprising mer- chant of Montreal, who, in 1808, obtained a charter from the Quebec Legislature, to con- nect the Island of Montreal with the main land. He erected three bridges, on piles, one from Bout de Pile to Isle Bourdon, 1600 feet; from thence to Repentigny Point, 600, and a third from Isle Bourdon to Lachesnaye Point, 700 feet. These bridges, unfortunately, were not destined to a long existence, having been carried away in the second year ol their con- struction by ice and spring flushes. Though not destined to a long existence, they were yet destiued to a long remembrance, Mr. Porteous having procured from a Manchester firm a series of checks in copper, which were given on entering the bridge, and taken up on the other end, serving as a check on the money collected. These checks were four in number, viz : Caliche, Charrcttc, Chcval, and Pa sonnc, having each three different re- verses ; t. De l’Ile i>e Montreal a l’Ach- esnave, on Repentiguy; 2. De l’Achesnaye a l’Isle de Montreal on Repentiguy; 3. De Repentiguy a l’Isle dk Montreal on l’Achesnaye; and as only a small quantity were obtained, they are consequently very scarce, and are otherwise highly prized as in- teresting specimens of early Canadian substi- tutes for paper tickets, having a like interest
to those issued by the Montreal and Lachine Railway, of later years, as well as for their French inscription, and their workmanship. Those from Lachesnaye are clipped to more readily distinguish them from the others; this was merely done for the convenience of the toll keepers, and seems to have been the work of a rough hand, on this side on the water. These checks are quite unknown to the in- habitants of the locality, as well as the exist- ence of the very bridges, and they regarded the specimens shown them with feelings of amazement; wondering that their little ham- lets should have been the object of so much importance, as to have a special token to com- memorate an event in their history ; another proof of the value of numismatics, in conserv- ing events, which would otherwise have been entirely lost sight of and forgotten years since.”
PUBLICATIONS, ETC.
Parts 15, 16, and 17 of Batty’s descriptive catalogue on the copper coinage of Great Britain have been received by us. This val- uable work is indispensable to every collector of British copper coins and especially so to collectors of Tradesmen’s tokens
We have received a number of proof sheets of the Dictionaire Numismatique, etc., by Mr. Alex. Boutowski, published in the French lan- guage at Leipzig, Germany. These proof sheets we will gladly distribute to those of our readers who may wish to examine this eminently scientific publication.
We have descriptions of Centennial and other medals, articles from various corres- pondents, and much other, matter, simply crowded out. Will our readers kindly assist us in pushing the claims of “Numisma” to the consideration of their friends? Very little additional help will enable us to publish original cuts, from coins in our possession, and to make this a lC-page publication.
▲
The just and impartial, but unfavorable comments made by us of Messrs. Scott’s first sale have drawn upon our head the pent up wrath of the “firm,” and in an article meant to be severe, but really harmless if not ridiculous, (especially in its application of the most sim- ple rules of syntax) we are made to feel that any criticism of the methods of S. & Co. will be regarded as a personal attack, and treated accordingly. So long as a stamp or coin dealer limits his business to private sales, it is none of ours to interfere; when he offers his wares, good or bad, to public competition, everybody, ourselves included, has the right to express his opinion; by expressing ours we have only performed our duty to the coin purchasing public, and shall continue to do so, fearlessly and impartially, we hope.
In regard to the “Novum Belgium” coin described in our last, we reiterate our opinion shared by several of the most prominent coin collectors in the United States, that the piece owned by Capt Defendorf is an original coin issued in Holland sometime between the years 1625 and 1632. Of the base imitations so accurately described by our contempory, we know nothing whatsoever except that they undoubtedly exist. The fact however that counterfeit coins, postage stamp restrikes , and other abominations are in the market, only gives proof of the existence ot the origi- nals.
At a future time we hope to present our readers additional data concerning the coin in the possession of Capt. Defendorf; in the meanwhile we decline further controversy with the publishers of the C. C. J. We view the personal attacks they have made upon us with the same indifference as we do their opinions on coins, but we are ready at any time to enter into a friendly discussion of the subject, with any other numismatic publica- tion or with individuals.
COIN SALES.
At Bangs & Co., Nov. 7th, 8th, and 9th, catalogue by Mr. Ed Cogan, a collection no- ticed in our last.
At Baugs & Co., Nov. 30th and Dec. tst, catalogue by the same gentlemen, a fine col- lection, chiefly pattern and experimental pieces, ancient gold and sflver coins.
At Leavitt's, Clinton Hall, Dec. 5th, 6th, and 7th, a miscellaneous collection. Cata- logue published through Scott & Co.
At Bangs & Co., Dec. 20 and 21, a very fine collection of American coins, medals, and colonial pieces was offered by Mr. Ed Cogan. A ' 793 American cent, uncirculated, but with a slight flaw and several nicks on head, sold for $42. This piece now fills an appropriate place in one of the best collection of cents and 1-2 cents in the country. We were for- tunate enough to purchase — for a considera- tion— the beautiful and exceedingly rare, but little known, Virginia cent of 1773, large planchet, in proof condition.
Wt; are charitable enough to concede that it was through ignorance not wilful misrepre- sentation that “Our publishers” in their re- cent sale catalogued a rare variety of the 1 793 “wreath” cent as unique; “for we can- not suppose that any respectable person, much less one who devotes his life and tal- ents to the selling of postage stamps to the young, would knowingly descend to falsehood” {sic'): but amateur publishers of catalogues should be exceedingly careful in using the term “unique” and “not allow their opinion to stand in the way ol obtaining facts, when a careful investigation would settle the mat- ter” (sic')\ unless “that the difficulty of ac- quiring the English language offers obstacles so insurmountable to the average Englishman as to prevent him from attaining a useful knowledge of it.” ( sic I)
COMING SALES.
At Philadelphia, Mr. J. W. Hazeltine will offer a collection — 1520 lots — on the 7th, 8th and 9th inst. Many collectors buy from Mr. H.’s sales, and we wish him all possible suc- cess.
At Bangs & Co., Mr. Attinelli, so favorably known to American collectors through his “Numisgraphic,” will offer the collection of C. VV. Idell, on the 8th and 9th inst. We understand that this contains a large number of rare war tokens and some ancient coins.
Two sales are announced to take place at Messrs. Leavitt during the month of January. Mr. Strobridge is preparing one catalogue comprising the “Snow" collection; the other is published by Scott & Co.
Messrs. Cogan and Harzfeld are also at work with catalogues; dates of sales undeter- mined, but will probably take place before our next issue.
The most popular, courteous and success- ful auctioneers, in the coin line, in the U. S., are Messrs. Bangs & Co., 656 Broadway, New York. -This is the all but universal opinion of coin collectors and dealers, and we heartily concur in it ourselves.
Wk have lately purchased a small collec- tion of Ancient and Modern coins containing several remarkably rare, and a very large number of desirable foreign coppers of un- usual types.
Part I of this collection was disposed dur- ing the last three months to collectors and coin dealers at private sale. Part II, for which we promised a separate list to our read- ers, (a promise regretfully unaccomplished) is now offered entire and without reserve to our friends. Descriptions which cannot here be inserted will accompany each piece, and among the various lots offered will be found very many pieces which are usually catalogued
singly. The degree of preservation of almost every piece when not otherwise described, rates at what most collectors would call “good" to “very fine.” The coins' will be sent by return of mail to those enclosing the amount marked, but we will cheerfully reserev any coins, or send for examination, when re- cpiested to do so by well known ‘Collectors.
