Delineation of Numismatic Science

I. On the origin and progress of the numismatic art, specifically among the Romans, and concerning the coins of the Roman Emperors from the High and Low Empire.

II. On the division of coins according to time (ancient, medieval, modern) and according to nations.

III. On the division of Roman coins with respect to material, specifically bronze, silver, and gold, of various sizes.

IV. On coins considered according to their various names, which arose from some accident.

V. On the types and inscriptions of coins, which differ on both sides, and the number of coins of different types.

VI. Memorabilia on the rarity of coins.

VII. On some rarer coins of exceptional rarity from the August House of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

VIII. On adulterated coins, their marks, and worn coins, with an appended breviary of abbreviations found on coins.

In the lectures, however, each item is not only to be illustrated with a richer discourse gathered from the best books and the coins themselves, but also the writers from whom more specific details can be sought are to be recounted, and the coins themselves, which my own little cabinet possesses, are to be shown.
