No copy of the medal exists in the cabinet of the Royal Museum of Antiquities; but in that belonging to the National Bank, there is a very fine example of it in copper, and the inscriptions are as follow: 

    On the Reverse:—­“Silvae.  Paludes.  Aggeres.  Hostes.  Victi.”

    In the Exergue:—­“Moschi ad Holowzinum victi A. 1708 3/14 Jul.”

And round the margin the verse from Lucan in question: 

  “Victrices Copias Alium Laturus In Orbem:” 

with the substitution of copias for aquilas, recorded by Voltaire and criticised by L.

The same inscriptions are given in Bergh’s Beskrifning oefver Svenska mynt och Skaedepenningar, 4to., Upsala, 1773; only he adds, that the inscription in the margin is only found on some copies.

I may transcribe Bergh’s description in full: 

    “Slagetvid Holofsin.

’119.  Konungens Bild och hamnunder Armen NAT. 17.  JUN. 1682, SILVAE.  PALVDES.  AGGERES.  HOSTES.  VICTI.  En Wahl-platz pae hoilken staer en Rysk Trophe; och twenne faengar derwid bunden.  I exerguen:  MOSCHI AD HOLOFZINUM VICTI.  A. 1708 3/14 JUL.

    “Pae naegra exemplar aer denna randskrift:  VICTRICES COPIAS ALIVM LATVRVS
    IN ORBEM.”

Could any of your readers obtain from the British Museum answers to the following Queries respecting Rudbeck’s Atlantica, for the use of a Swedish friend of mine.

  British Museum.—­Biblioteca Grenvilliana—­Olof
      Redbeck, Atland sive Manheim.

  Tomus i.  S. anno 1675, 1679. 
    Has any one of these three copies a separate
      leaf, entitled Ad Bibliopegos?
    If so, which of them? 
    Has the copy with the date 1679 Testimonia at the end? 
    If so, how many pages do they consist of? 
    Have they a separate title and a separate
      sheet of errata?
    Is there a duplicate copy of this separate title
      at the end of the Preface? 
  Tomus ii. 1689
    How many pages of Testimonia are there at
      the end of the Preface?

Is there, in any one of these volumes, the name of any former owner, any book number, or any other mark by which they can be recognised (for instance, that of the Duke de la Valliere)?

Should there be any other copy of any one of these tomes in the British Museum, these questions will extend to that volume also.
