“Mr Hazlitt is an expert in regard to coins; his book from the practical standpoint is trustworthy.”—Notes and Queries.
“We may say at once that we have a very interesting and instructive volume before us. The subject is, of course, only lightly touched upon, and no attempt at dealing with any section of it in detail is made. This is as it should be in a book on coins in general.”—Antiquary.
“Perhaps as excellent an introduction to the study of a delightful pursuit as could have been written.”—Daily Telegraph.
“Abreast of the latest discoveries and theories, and is sure of a welcome from the general reader as well as from the collector.”—Scotsman.
“This admirable volume gives a bird’s-eye view of the whole. It is clear that Mr Hazlitt is not only an enthusiast in the subject of his book, but also a student whose knowledge is at once singularly wide and remarkably accurate.”—Publishers’ Circular.
