A TREATISE ON
 
 

 
 
And this must necessarily facilitate the trans­actions of this business; and, I am humbly of opinion, if this had been the case in times past, many capital jewels, which have lain many years in the hands of persons who bought them in order to make profit of the money laid out, would have found pur­chasers of them long ago, to the advantage of their present owners.
As so much depends on traders being masters of the most complete knowledge of this business, it must be supposed they will not be wanting in improving themselves therein by all means that may be procured, as it will render them a beneficial body to the rest of mankind, and of course raise their characters, which have heretofore lain under disagreeable imputations.
Here it may be proper to observe, that whatever knowledge persons may have of the just value of jewels, it will not exempt those who buy them for their own use from sustaining a loss in purchasing them ; but it will lessen the losses that might otherwise happen, which the world has heretofore been subject to for want of such knowledge.
