IMPORTANT NEWS. 



We have secured one of the finest collections ever gotten together by a 

 Brooklynite, and we think all will know its owner without mentioning his 

 name. It is rich in the much-sought-after old finds and rare minerals which 

 were plentiful 25 or 80 years ago, but which cannot be secured at any price 

 to-day, except out of very old collections. It is valued at over $i0,000. 

 Some of these specimens are so rare and fine that the owner has been impor- 

 tuned many times to part with them by universities, museums and the better 

 class of collectors, but in every case he has refused their offers, not wishing 

 to break the collection. It will now be offered on and after September 1st, 

 in lots to suit purchasers, at a very reasonable figure. First come first 

 served will be the rule. Don't delay and then blame us, as we know there 

 will be a rush to secure the finest of these specimens. If you cannot call on 

 us send us your wishes and they will be filled to best advantage. This col- 

 lection has been correctly labelled according to the Dana System by its 

 owner, so that all purchasers are assured of the accuracy of these specimens. 

 Further particulars on application. 



"OUR NEW CIRCULAR." 



We have just issued a new 8-page Circular, covering almost all our stock 

 at present date, except the Brooklyn Collection, the East Indian and Russian 

 Gem Collections, and two other European collections that are on their way. 

 Special Circular will be issued of these as soon as they arrive and are 

 arranged.
