To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is said that the King of Portugal has one as large as a pear. In the votive crown dedicated by the Luke of Aosta to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and which was made by me, I put a pearl, which, similar to that sold by Gougitas to Philip IV. , King of Spain, weighs about 480 grains. It is in the form of a pear, and hangs like a drop from the crown. LXXVIII. FALSE PEARLS. THE beauty of the pearl, which so much enhances female loveliness, creates the desire for exact imita- tions at much lo...wer prices. Nevertheless, we do not know whether the ancients made false pearls or not. The French claim the invention of imitating pearls for one of their citizens, named Jacquin. We shall not dispute as to who is the author of this invention, but merely state that in Italy false pearls have been made for some centuries past, and by a method altogether different from that of the Paris bead- maker. It is said that Jacquin being one day at Passy, observed that those small fish which we call argentine, 176 GEMS.
