Excerpt from Catalogue of a Valuable Collection of American Coins and Medals: The Property of Charles Clay, M. D., Of Manchester, England IT is now some ten or twelve years since the name of Dr. Charles Clay, of Manchester, England, became known to American collectors, in connection with an already celebrated Cabinet of Coins. American travellers, with antiquarian tastes, have been in the habit of calling upon this genial and enthusiastic collector, at his home, and viewing his rarities, many of which were to be seen nowhere else. From these gentlemen, the fame of Dr. Clay's collection has spread far and wide; besides, the Dr. Has never been slow to furnish his correspondents on this side of the Atlantic with rubbings and descriptions of his most valued pieces. Among those most favored, in this connection, are Messrs. W. Elliot Woodward and S. S. Crosby, of Boston, to whom, in advance of the Catalogue, almost every important piece in the collection is known.
