"Archæology is under a peculiar obligation to Mr. Akerman. To him more than to any other living man, is due the praise of having converted multitudes to the love of antiquarian research. To him we all owe the pleasant debt of an instructive acquaintance, not only with the beautiful money of Ancient Greece and Rome, but with the once barbarous, though not less interesting, coins of our earliest history. And to him now especially, the cause of religion can bring its triUMISMATIC

NUM

bute of commendation for light thrown upon Holy
Writ, through the medium of the unrighteous Mam-
mon."
The New Testament has, it appears, in the
compass of the Gospels and Acts, no less than 32
allusions to the coinage of Greece, Rome, and Judæa;
and these beautifully engraved, and learnedly de-
scribed, give Mr. Akerman an opportunity of serving
the good cause of truth in the way of his peculiar
avocation."-Church of England Journal.
