Famous Pearls.

at p. 177. The necklace of matchless black Pearls, 

 belonging to the Empress Eugenie has been referred 

 to at p. 268 ; and the curious history of the pair of 

 fine black Pearls, weighing JJ and 6j grains, will be 

 found at p. 269. There are no doubt, other famous 

 Pearls worthy of description, and some of these we 

 hope to describe in a future edition of this work. 

 The author will always be glad to receive information 

 respecting any Pearls of exceptional interest, with 

 the view of rendering the subject, in a future edition, 

 as perfect as possible.
