British and Foreign Coins Compared.—For a some- what similar reason to that advanced for inserting a table regarding the metric system, there is also here given a table by which at a glance will be observed the equivalent of the English coins in those of other civilized countries. In consulting foreign catalogues especially this table will be found useful. * One of the tables prepared by Professor Hubert A. Newton, of Vale College, New Haven (‘Mttric System,’ Barnard).
