Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jewels of King Art The Jewels of King Art The warm south winds of May for days had blown, And sun and shower by fruitful turns had strown The fresh green hills and fields with op'ning buds, And all the quiet, heartsome neighborhoods, Untroubled by the discords of the crowd, Thrilled with new life; the trees in reverence bowed Their heads, and flung their leafy banners out Amid the song of lark and thrush, and shout Of farmer boys disporting on the grass, Or watching the home coming milkmaids pass And linger at the turn of the boreen, A little way beyond, where could be seen The better every simple charm and grace Of rounded bust and limb and glow of face, And tapered ankle, foot and shining tress, And all the lure of native loveliness, Resistless as the flowers are to the sun, That round his convex orbit daily run. This ominous wind of passion and desire Had from the skies blown, like a wind of fire, All winter glooms and dismal cloudiness - The Prince its prurience had felt no less Than did the peasant. And Hanrahan The red and Aebhen held both court and clan In strange enchantment of their mystic spells, At twilight when the dews and vesper bells Filled all the lovely land of meath around With that divine delight of sight and sound - And taste and smell and feeling, all too fine For any but the fairie poet's line.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gems Gems in their appeal are like the stars. They enchant the eye, they stir the imagination. Then, as with cats and clocks, they are "company." A valuable stone is the one thing that endures. Lace is soon a rag, velvet impossible, flowers dead; but a jewel, if treated kindly, lives forever. It is indeed almost as indestructible as truth or a mighty love. The very word evokes a picture. Is there a richer syllable than "gem"? With the jeweler it means the finest of its kind. But the scholars say a gem, whether of emerald or quartz, is not a gem unless engraved. Other times, other manners. These days the art of gem engraving scarcely exists, while precious stones are everywhere. Before a fine specimen, "gem" leaps to the lips involuntarily. It is suggested that the business classification be known as gemology in distinction from the mineralogy of science. Treatises on gems, comparatively few, difficult of access, generally reference books, are often tough reading. The scientist may be great and useful, but for the neophyte he has scant regard. It seemed as if a small volume, depicting in simple words the salient features of precious stones, garnering from the huge harvest of research the easily assimilable, might not come amiss. If we cannot know all, let us at least grasp something from that vast world of interesting facts to which so many women who wear jewels and men who buy and sell them seem indifferent. Gems have many sides, and even laymen may attain a few. Nothing is more bewildering to the beginner than the manner in which the various mineral families masquerade in one another's clothing. It would be no trick at all were the garnet always red, the sapphire always blue, the topaz always yellow, as at first we suppose. Nature seems positively to enjoy playing pranks which turn all preconceived notions topsy-turvy. Increasing experience confers that sixth sense which gradually distinguishes one family from another. Yet even experts, to be absolutely sure, must sometimes resort to scientific tests. These are the triumphs of modem times over the simple file of the ancients. Now, hardness, specific gravity, refraction, dispersion, dichroicism, by means of delicate and often inexpensive instruments, can precisely be determined. To own a few good stones is an education. Like pictures, their qualities come out only in close association. A judiciously purchased collection may prove a good investment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art Journal, 1874, Vol. 13 The real treasures, however, filled even then (in 1560) the lower rooms of the elector's palace, who, like every sovereign, possessed a quantity of jewels, precious objects, valuable souvenirs, and important documents, which, on account of their value, -were not qualified to be kept in the model-rooms, occupying the third and fourth stories of the palace. These treasures were placed, for sake of safety, in the rooms that now form the Green Vaults, and which were approached by a secret staircase front the elector's apartments. Augustus I. Took advantage of every occasion by which he might enrich his collections. He had already received many precious objects, as the dowry of his wife, the excellent Mother Anna, as she has been called, who was the daughter of Christian L, King of Denmark.
