"These coins, ex voto inscriptions, & images were found by the monks of Great St. Bernard Hospital, on the Alps, in digging among the ruins of a temple, dedicated to the Pennine Jupiter, near the Hospital. The MSS. were lent to me, as I wished to print them. After they had been printed thus far, the printer left me, & before I had obtained another, the remainder of the MSS. became mis-laid among my large collections. I was obliged, therefore, to defer the printing untill they could be found. That, unfortunately, has not yet happened, & I have determined to let the world have what is already done, lest this portion should be lost also"--Preface.
