Extract

The very learned and ingenious Mr. Bryant having directed the attention of the public to the Apamean medal, I hope it will not be thought an unacceptable or a useless attempt, to clear up some points relative to that coin; and to enquire into the proofs of its authenticity, that the learned may be better enabled to judge of the opinions which have been formed upon it [a].
