Frossard & Parsons on Franco-American Jetons

I enjoyed Pete Smith's article on Frossard, who has always been a favorite of mine. I have a small correction to make, though. He wrote:

These are two completely different works, one by Parsons and the other by Frossard. Neither work was jointly written. They were published 15 years apart and are usually encountered separately. I have handled two copies that were bound together, as both are short monographs on the same subject, such as this:

Frossard & Parsons on Franco-American Jetons
127 Frossard, Ed. FRANCO-AMERICAN JETONS, FULLY DESCRIBED AND ILLUSTRATED. New York: Privately Published, 1899. 14, (2) pages; 52 descriptions; 2 very fine plates. [bound with] Parsons, George M. THE COLONIAL JETONS OF LOUIS XV AND OTHER PIECES RELATING TO THE FRENCH COLONIAL POSSESSIONS IN AMERICA, AND TO THEIR CONQUEST BY ENGLAND. Columbus: Reprinted for Private Circulation from the American Journal of Numismatics, 1884. 15, (1) pages; 1 fine plate of jetons and medals. Tall 8vo, later blue cloth, gilt; original printed card covers bound in. The Frossard work is a bit worn, and bears some modern annotations; the Parson work is nearly fine; the overall volume is near fine. $200

The first work is very scarce, of which only 100 copies were printed. The monograph was dedicated to the notable Chicago numismatist Charles Morris, whose collection of jetons undoubtedly formed the basis of Frossard's detailed catalogue. Still cited and quite useful. The offprint of Parsons's AJN article is at least as scarce: this copy is unusually well-preserved and includes the original printed card covers. Ex Joseph Foster Library; ex Richard Cooper Library.
