NUMISMATIC CRUMBS AND GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH

Every now and them a book listed for sale catches my eye because
of an unusual connection to numismatics. This week I came across
an offering of "The Old Countess of Desmond: An Inquiry (concluded),
When was she Married? with Numismatic Crumbs" The book is by
Richard Sainthill and was published in 1863. It has 105 pages and
two small folding charts.

I asked the seller, Tuttle Antiquarian Books (tuttbook@sover.net),
about the book and its numismatic content, and they replied: "It's a
genealogical reference book. The reference to Numismatic Crumbs
starts on page 83-94 and talks about various medals or coinages
such as Royal Academy Turner Medal, Medal for Sir David Wilkie,
Marriage Medals of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and
Princess of Wales, Coin of the Empress Elizabeth of Russia, etc."
