WILLIAM J. THOMS, Esq., F.S.A.
The Tomb of Geoffrey Chaucer in Westminster Abbey is fast mouldering into irretrievable decay. A sum of One Hundred Pounds will effect a perfect repair. The Committee have not thought it right to fix any limit to the contribution; they themselves have opened the list with a subscription from each of them of Five Shillings; but they will be ready to receive any amount, more or less, which those who value poetry and honour Chaucer may be kind enough to remit to them.
Subscriptions have been received from the Earls of Carlisle, Ellesmere, and Shaftesbury, Viscounts Strangford and Mahon, Pres. Soc. Antiq., The Lords Braybrooke and Londesborough, and many other noblemen and gentlemen.
Subscriptions are received by all the members of the Committee, and at the Union Bank, Pall Mall East. Post-office orders may be made payable at the Charing Cross Office, to William Richard Drake, Esq., the Treasurer, 46. Parliament Street, or William J. Thomas, Esq., Hon. Sec., 25. Holy-Well Street, Millbank.
Now ready, the Second Edition, price 25s., illustrated by numerous examples of Rare and Exquisite Greek and Roman Coins, executed by a New Process in exact fac-simile of the originals, and in their respective metals.
ANCIENT COINS AND MEDALS; an Historical Account of the Origin of Coined Money, the Development of the Art of Coining in Greece and her Colonies, its Progress during the extension of the Roman Empire, and its decline as an Art with the Decay of that Power. By H. N. Humphreys.
"It is needless to remark how desirable an addition such a work as this must be to the library of the historian, the classical scholar, and the clergyman, no less than to the artist."—Daily News.
