Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalog of the Large Collection of the Gold and Silver Coins and Medals of Ancient Greece and Rome, Europe and America, Particularly the Dollars of the World: Formed by the Late Charles Gregory, Esq. It seems very natural that a banker, using the moneys of the world, should turn his attention to forming a collection of them, and in this catalogue I describe the collection of the late Charles Gregory, banker of New York City and founder of the firm of Charles Gregory Com pany, prominent in financial affairs of that city and still continued by his former partners. Mr. Gregory not only was a man of culture who was interested in coins, but he also formed collections of books, pictures and postage stamps. He was for many years a member of the American Numismatic Society of New York, New York Historical Society, National American Numismatic Association, Union League Club, Seventh Regiment, of which we have many badges in the collection, and other societies. He was a member of the Stock Exchange from 1868 until his death last June. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
