Excerpt from Beach Rambles in Search of Seaside Pebbles and Crystals: With Some Observations on the Origin of the Diamond and Other Precious StonesIn the present treatise, an attempt has been made to commend this subject to more general attention, by grouping together many scattered facts and methodizing the results. Learned disquisitions and technical terms have been as much as possible avoided, but in the con cluding chapters, sundry interesting points in natural philosophy bearing upon the subject are handled rather more scientifically, and here, some original matter will be found.The coloured plates are after drawings by a well-known and ingenious artist fit the original specimens being in my own collection. They have been carefully and faithfully executed, and are on the same scale as the pebbles them selves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
