Excerpt from A Talk on Jewels After various vicissitudes, in which bloodshed and rapine were not unknown, we next find it at the capture of Lahore when it fell into the possession of the British soldiers and was by them presented to Her late Majesty on July 3, 1850. When exhibited at the great Exposition of 1851, notwithstanding its imperfections, it 'attracted very great attention, and a consultation of the leading scientific men of the day, Sir David Brewster among them, was held to consider the advisability of trying to perfect it by recutting. Al though their opinion was averse to such an attempt, a Mr. Coster of Amsterdam, who was familiar with such matters, was so sanguine of the results that the gem was eventually entrusted to him and the result justified the action, as, whilst it now stands at only 106 1-16 carats, it has the same surface as before and instead of being lustreless is brimful of light and fire.

Excerpt from Bible Jewels Natural jewels are so valuable that many of us can never afford to buy them. Nor is this necessary, for we can be happy without them. But these Bible jewels are a thousand times more valuable, and with out them we cannot be happy. Yet, valuable as they are, the poorest person who reads this book, whether young or old, may become the owner of all the Bible jewels of which it speaks. And this is the reason why this book was written. The hope and prayer of the writer is that every one who reads these pages may try to get all these precious Bible jewels. Try first to get Jesus, the Pearl of great price. And when he is yours, ask him to give you all the other jewels here described. They belong to Jesus. He has them to give away. He will give them to all who earnestly ask for them. Ask him to give them to you. Then how rich and happy, how good and useful, you will be! And when Jesus shall come to make up his jewels you will be gathered with them, and will shine in beauty forever among the bright and glori ous things of his heavenly kingdom. The graphic illustrations accompanying this volume were kindly furnished by our gifted young artist, Mr. A. G. Heaton, to whom the author tenders his most cordial thanks.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Excerpt from The Star Jewels: And Other Wonders What do you suppose she wanted She had happened to sit up one night later than a little young mermaid should, and she had seen the diamond stars twinkling in the sky. She wanted them for a necklace! She declared that she must have them for a necklace. She was tired of her beautiful rope of pearls, and vowed that she would not wear it any more unless she could have the starry one to wear with it. This made poor Triton very unhappy, for he had taken great pride in his beautiful gift to his little daughter, but now she cared nothing at all for it, and demanded something which he could not give her.

Excerpt from Jewellery With the exception of a chapter dealing with Egyptian jewellery, I have confined myself solely to Europe. The work falls into four main divisions. The first deals with the jewellery worn during classical times, and until the ninth century Of our era. The second treats of the jewels Of the Middle Ages. The third is devoted to the jewels Of the Renaissance, and the fourth includes those of subsequent times. In the chapters dealing with Renaissance and later jewellery I have endeavoured to utilise the valuable evidence.

Excerpt from The Science of Gems, Jewels, Coins, and Medals: Ancient and Modern Another form of seal is the very primitive one of a flattish round chalcedony pebble, with sufficient ground off one edge to afford space for engraving a subject, and a hole being made through the middle to receive a string; as a chalcedony, brought from Nineveh, having a very rough attempt in intaglio of a winged horse, the Phoenician symbol Sometimes the hole was enlarged enough to admit a finger. This shape was sometimes modified by being made of an oblong instead of a circular pebble, and the hole made near the end opposite to the intaglio, - these being evidently formed from chalcedony pebbles of an oblong shape. Some were made approaching a pyramidal shape, but these are of a later date, and present more elaborate lapidary work and we have had modern seals made of much the same form, of amethyst, crystal, and other stones, either bored near the top, to receive a ring, or suspended by a golden or other metallic loop - and these are sufficiently orna mental.

Excerpt from Precious Gems for the Saviour's Diadem There amid the Marys and Manassehs, pub lican-matthews and dying thieves, mayest thou hereafter behold them; seeing the Lord's invitation to thee and to' me proclaimeth, Whosoever will, let him come. Think not, because you find here the little ones of the flock, that therefore they cannot speak but to children. Try them. The old man loveth the lisping babe; the Wise often times learn from Childhood's simple Wisdom; nor will the foolish have wandered astray, if he finds himself at the feet of one whom the Lord Jesus hath taken up in His arms, laid His hands upon, and blessed. He waiteth to be gracious to him - to all who will come. If thou art rich and nobly born, scorn not their record because on earth they were poor. If thou art strong, despise them not because they are feeble; if thou art eloquent, bid them not be silent, for they speak according to the law and the testimony - Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength.
