| The full title of this catalog is: Histoire numismatique de la révolution
française, ou description raisonné des médailles, monnaies,
et autres monumens numismatiques relatifs aux affaires de la France, depuis
l`overture des états- généraux jusqu`a l`établissement
du gouvernement consulaire; par M. H..... avec planches. |
| This catalog deals with the medals and coinage of the French Revolution
and the Directory from 1789 through 1799. It`s 927 entries cover a wide
variety of numismatic material. It is a frequently cited source and adds
considerably to the collector`s ability to reference his collection. Bramsen
omitted this period from his consideration because of the completeness of
the catalog. About it he said: |
| "For the period from the beginning of the French revolution
(27 April 1789) up to 18 Brumaire an 8, (9 November 1799) there exists
the famous work of M. Hennin: Histoire numismatique de la Révolution
française, Paris, 1826. There is no need of further praise
for that book; M. Hennin has once and for all achieved his goal in
such a way that his successors cannot dream of doing anything more
than making a supplement containing the pieces —few as they may
be— which escaped his laborious researches." |
|
| I would note that the only discrepancies would appear to be related to
British medals and tokens and some German jetons. There are a remarkable
number of them referenced in the catalog but in some cases other medals, etc. produced at the same time don`t show up. Still, as a knowledgable
friend reminded me, "The fact that his work has been reprinted shows
that it remains the catalog for that period." |
