PREFACE.IN issuing the present catalogue, I have to gratefully acknowledgethe assistance which I received, in writing the <strong>In</strong>troduction,from Mr. Lewis Rice's "Mysore Gazetteer" andColonel H. P. Hawkes* " <strong>Coins</strong> of Mysore," of which thelatter, published in 18<strong>56</strong>, is now very scarce. From boththese sources I have, in many cases, copied extracts verbatim.To Captain R. H. Campbell Tufnell, I am indebted forthe pains and trouble which he took in correcting andrevising the proof sheets, and for comparing the inscriptionsin the text with those on the coins.The frontispiece represents in the centre the obverse ofthe medal struck in commemoration of the taking of Seringapatamin 1 799, and above and below, the silver medals struck" for services in Mysore " in 1791-2.GOVERNMENT CENTRAL MUSEUM,MADRAS,6th January 1888.EDGAR THURSTON,Superintendent.
