    FRENCH REFERENCE FOUND

    In response to Gar Travis' request, R. W. Julian writes: "I
    have this book; the title page has the author's name as J. B.
    A. A. Barthelemy and it was published at Paris at "A La
    Librairie Encyclopedique de Roret." There is no date. "

    Hadrien Rambach of Paris writes: "Anatole de Barthelemy
    (= JBAA Barthelemy)
    Nouveau manuel complet de numismatique ancienne
    1 volume of text + 1 volume of plates (i.e. the atlas)
    Fist (rare) edition : Paris 1866
    Second edition : 1890

    The author also wrote a "Manuel de numismatique du
    moyen-âge".

    Your edition is from the 2nd edition, according to the mention
    "membre de l'Institut" (= member of the French Academy).

    Complete sets of two volumes are unusual, but no copy is
    really expensive (the most expensive copy I know (mine!),
    is the text-volume in the first ed. with the ex-librisses of
    Henry Chapman & John W Scott, bound in half leather)."

    Gar Travis adds: "I came by my copy as a lining in the bottom
    of a metal box with a few coins I purchased from an old
    collection, some years ago. I have just moved into a new office
    and came across it again. I thought about removing the plates
    and having them framed, but common sense may prevail and
    the book may stay together."
