Description: "The important, rich and priceless numismatic collection that we have just broadly examined in successive articles from the columns of La Vanguardia should be declared a national monument; a collection that should legitimately fill its creator with pride and that all of Spain should have at its disposal. honor that one day it would not disappear from the national soil; but, if this is to happen, we reiterate from these columns our humble request to its worthy and enlightened owner so that, leaving aside his innate modesty, he raises to his memory an eternal, more lasting monument than marbles and bronzes, with the publication of the complete, detailed and scientific catalog of his collection that has been completed for some time.
The collection of coins and medals formed by D. Manuel Vidal Quadras y Ramón is not a simple collection of coins, more or less important, gathered without any scientific plan, it is the complete history of Spain from the earliest historical times, written in truthful pages metallic.
The catalog is arranged by Mr. Vidal Quadras in a rigorous chronological order, an order that I recognize is essential for the study of ancient coins and medals, but which I believe causes confusion for our coins from the Middle Ages and modern; To avoid this inconvenience, the author has formed the indexes by series, indicating the catalog numbers that correspond to each series, thus facilitating the knowledge and study of the precious things that he owns.
The eighty-seven plates that illustrate this work present faithfully reproduced hundreds of very rare coins, many of them of equal or greater rarity having ceased to be reproduced because they were drawn in works by various authors."
