It may be well for the author to so far take the part of a jeweller, as to sort his Rings before he exhibits them.
We propose to speak of:
1.—Rings connected with power.
2.—Rings having supposed charms and virtues, or connected with degradation and slavery, or used for sad and wicked purposes.
3.—Rings coupled with remarkable historical characters or circumstances.
4.—Rings of love, affection and friendship.
CHAPTER TWO.
