Excerpt from A Vindication of the Celtic Inscriptions on Gaulish and British Coins

A great object being to secure inquirers on these topics from errors, the caution given in the Celtic Inscriptions, on the head of forgery, may, with advantage, be referred to here. It has been known of late years, that surmises on the new reading of a type, though only, perhaps, ventilated in some journal or periodical, have taken shortly afterwards a more solid form, and that coins conformably inscribed, have been on sale a few months afterwards. Also, I have known a coin to appear, the legend of which bore evidence of being mainly formed from a fac-simile which I myself had published.
