Reseña del editor: Excerpt from Jewelry and the Precious Stones: With a History, and Description From Models, of the Largest Individual Diamonds Known; Including, Particularly, a Consideration, of the Koh-I-Noor's Claim to Notoriety

To one, who contemplates it, there is much that is of the poetic and attractive about the vocation of the Jeweler. In the first place, the materials he chiefly deals with are the rarest of earth's mineral products, the mas ter-pieces of the mighty mother, Nature, in this department of her labors. Gold and silver and the precious stones have in all ages exercised an important influence over the hopes and wishes, the thoughts and imagina~ tions of men in all stages of development, and these are the principal subjects of the Jeweler's handiwork.
