Excerpt from A Visit to the Cabinet of the United States Mint, at Philadelphia It is not attempted in this little work to cover in detail the whole field occupied by the interesting subject of which it discourses. But it is believed that herein are embodied sufficient curious and important facts to satisfy the general reader's demand for information regarding the art - its history, uses, and elegancies - to which the following pages are devoted. Thanks are due to the courteous officers of the Mint for the promptness, as well as patience, with which they supplied to the writer all information sought. From them, and from such other authorities as the works of ex-Director Snowden and those of Mr. W. E. Dubois, the distinguished numismatist, have most of the needed data hereof been derived.
