CHAP. 2. Laminary native gold, on crystallized sulphnret of 
antimony. 
3. Native gold, crystallized in octahedrons, and in tetra- 
hedral prisms ; horn Boitza, and from Abrudbany a 
in Transylvania. 
4. Gold, mineralized by tellurium, from Nagyag in 
Transylvania; both crystallized, and in laminary 
forms. 
5. GoW as exhibited in globules upon the tellurium, by 
the disengagement of the sulphur \ 
Vases. We then viewed a collection of Greek Vases, 
called here, as in many other places, Etruscan: 
^''""*- also a numerous series of antique Gems, 
both Intaglios and Cameos. Lastly, we inspected, 
with as much attention as our time would 
Medals. admit, the collection of Medals belonging to the 
Baron, which would require a week's examina- 
tion. We could only attend to a small part of it. 
Among the Greek medals, we observed a gold 
medallion of Lysimachus, as large as an 
English crown-piece ; the only one, we be- 
lieve, which is known of that magnitude : and 
(l) According to Professor JSer^e/iMi of Svvedkn, gold en\%is in the 
ores of tellurium only as a sulphuret. Ry the application of heat, the 
AM/p/twr is therefore evaporated, and the ^^oW becomes, consequently, 
developed. This opinion was communicated to the author by the 
Professor himself, during his late visit to Cainbridge. The new 
doctrine, however, of the atomic theory, in chemistry, will throw further 
light upon the sub'ect of the tellurets of gold.
