Excerpt from William Summer Appleton
His disquisition on A Uniform Coinage, which was the title of his Commencement part, and the fact that he was one of the founders of the Boston Numismatic Society in the year that he graduated, that he served it as its Secretary until his death, to gether with his constant and regular attendance at its meetings for over forty years, except when abroad, and his letters to its member ship while on the Continent, show how deep and genuine was his interest in this department of his three favorite studies Numisma tics, Heraldry and Genealogy. Indeed before he entered college he had begun the collection of the cabinet which, to the very close of his life, was an unfailing source of pleasure, and which it is earnestly to be hoped may be preserved intact as a monument to his memory. He was unceasing in his efforts to complete his series of coins and medals having reference to events in American history, and there are those who will recall his delight when he informed a few sym pathetic friends of his success in obtaining originals of the rare Os wego medal, and the still rarer Diplomatic Medal, for which he had long been watching, and which he exhibited and described at a meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society in the winter of 1894, and to his associates in the N umismatic Society.
