Great Britain, London. Numismatic Literature "An Essay on Medals" by John Pinkerton (Vol: 1 & II). 1808. Two Leather bound volumes of this early popular series of numismatic books. Originally issued in 1784, this is the 3rd Edition from 1808. All pages intact, the covers are good, wear to spines and part of cover on one edition is loose but still attached. Fine, and still of great interest for the writing style and some good details that are still relevant.
