Excerpt from Devils
HE mosaic here displayed makes but a very imperfect picture of a widely distributed subject; yet, like many an Old tessellated cartoon, there may be found sufficient remains to indicate the original design conceived in the minds of men Of past generations.
Many Of these tesserae have been brought from distant countries, some aglow with a richness which time has not dimmed, while others are dull and colourless; some Of them are as Of a transparent metal through which intense conviction may be seen, and others as Of an opaque substance, where with the work yields but questionable credit to the manipulator.
