In one of these was fastened the long curved tool which serves to beat out the bosses of hollow and small necked vessels.

In pots full of sand were stuck hundreds of tiny chisels, so that the workmen could select at a glance the exact form of tool needful for the moment. Two or three half balls of heavy stone stood in leathern collars, their flat surfaces upwards and covered with a brown composition of pitch and beeswax an inch thick, in which small pieces of silver were firmly embedded in position to be chiselled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
