Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Engraved Gems My 'Antique Gems and Rings' is now out of print; and will not be republished. During the interval since its appearance, so much additional information has flowed in upon me, more particularly from the Oriental quarter, that I should not be satisfied with another edition of that work, unless the great stock of fresh materials which I have collected should be incorporated; and also large additions made - a long and laborious undertaking for which present circumstances have rendered me totally unfit. But as the Publishers are contemplating a fresh edition of my smaller Treatise upon the same subject, a way seems opened out to me of carrying knowledge forward (at least in some degree) towards the point at which I have myself arrived. The chief utility of a Treatise of this nature lies in its bringing under the eye of the student the largest possible number of examples that shall illustrate the rules laid down in the text, and for this purpose I have selected the most important gems from amongst those figured in the previous edition of the two books. Interspersed with these will be found newly executed engravings of curious and unpublished types, which recent discoveries have brought within my reach. These additions have afforded me an opportunity of leading the reader, with little trouble, into "fresh fields and pastures new." This plan, besides the being more simple and expeditious than that of blending the new matter with the original text, has the advantage of bringing it more prominently under the student's notice, because the "Description of the Plates" usually finds more readers than any other part of the volume. Of these new lights, the most novel, and to my mind the most interesting, are the series of Roman-British Signets, for what curious thoughts do they not stir up through their connexion with the earliest history of our country? and of such memorials the kindness of friends has enabled mo to exhibit a much larger array than I had hoped, on first attempting their collection for the present purpose.

The jewel-room of the Florentine Galleria possesses a red and yellow agate where the shades accurately depict a Cupid running; as well as some other specimens of such self-created miniatures. Among the gems of the Strawberry Hill Collection is catalogued " a rare Egyptian Pebble naturally representing Voltaire in his night-gown and cap; set in gold: " also " another representing with the utmost exactness the portrait of a woman in profile, a rock behind her and sky before, set in gold, and accounted very curious." Some others, and yet more singular, are specified in the ' Description of the Hope Precious Stones, ' drawn up by B. Hertz. The known existence of these nature-paintings elucidates an epigram by Claudian, entitled "On a table of sardonyx stone; " which is somewhat obscure by reason of its too flowery style, and at first sight rather suggests the notion of a mosaic being intended, although there can bo no doubt, after a careful consideration, that the poet wishes to describe tho actual colouring and shades of the native stone. Ep. XLIV. In Mensam de sardonyche lapide. "Monta coloratis aquilte sinuatur in alis Qucm floris distinguil honos similiaquc figura Texitur, implumcm mrntitnr gemma Yolatum." JULIUS C&SAKS " VENUS VIOTSIX." 143 "The coloured veins that o'er my surface play An eagle's form with dusky wings portray, With native hues traced on the flowered stone A life-like figure to perfection shown: Formed in the gem, the picture seems to fly, And, wingless, cheats the wondering gazer's eye."
