MEDALS OF WASHINGTON
COLLECTION OF W. S. APPLETON
It is a fact not pleasant to remember, that nowhere at present can one find a worthy account of the medals struck in honor of Washington. Snovvden's " Medallic Memorials of Washington in the Mint of the United States," pub- lished in 1 86 1, contains descriptions of 138, and is very valuable; but the number struck since is enormous, to say nothing of those of earlier date, which were not in the collection at the Mint. Woodward's " List of Wash- ington Memorial Medals," privately printed in 1865, "only proposed to furnish brief descriptions of a portion of the medallic memorials of his death" and enumerates but 48. Several are of course mentioned in Dicke- son's "American Numismatical Manual," and long lists of Medals of Wash- ington are in various sale catalogues, particularly those of Haines, McCoy, and Woodward's Fifth and Sixth. My own collection contains almost every medal mentioned by Snowden, Woodward, and Dickeson, a very large part of those ever offered at public sale, besides some which have never appeared on any catalogue, and have never been described, except, perhaps, in the reports of the meetings of the Boston Numismatic Society. I may name, as medals of exceeding rarity, numbers XII, XIII, XVI, XLVIII, LV, LXIII, LXX, LXXVI. The collection is so extensive that I have thought it deserving of a printed catalogue, to which I add notes of some of the medals
wantmsf m it.

This medal appeared in France during the Revolutionary War, and is probably first mentioned in April 1778, by Samuel Curwen, who says in his Journal, that it had been lately struck for M. Voltaire.
