[this partial quotation of a letter is in response to Dickinson's letter to WHFT of 20 February 1862 - see Doc. No: 04669].

[Published in The Numismatic Chronicle, and Journal of the Numismatic Society, n.s. v. 2, 1862, p. 132, as part of Dickinson's "Remarks Upon an Article on Assyrian Antiquities, by H. Fox Talbot, Esq., as to the Cuneiform Inscription on the Cylinder of Sargon in the British Museum," pp. 123-135.]

[Dickinson wrote in a footnote: "In a private note from Mr. Talbot, since the receipt of my letter to him, he remarks:"]
By coins I do not mean necessarily figured images, such as, for instance, those bearing a lion's head. I should consider lumps of silver marked with their value as coins, provided the mark was made by a stamp.
