Excerpt from A View of the History and Coinage of the Parthians: With Descriptive Catalogues and Tables, Illustrative With a Complete Set of Engravings of Coins, a Large Number of Them Unpublished
The larger silver coins as well as the very few of smaller size than the drachm, have been but little noticed even by the most recent writers, whilst a considerable number of new varieties of them have been discovered, and the classification of the copper and brass coins of this series has been hitherto almost entirely neglected.
The history of the Parthian kings has hitherto been but little attended to, and I have therefore considered a short view of it in connexion with their coins would be acceptable to the reader, and place the value of Numismatic illustration in a more prominent point of view.
