Synopsis
Excerpt from Repouss Work for Amateurs: Being the Art of Ornamenting Thin Metal With Raised Figures
Gold and silver appear to have been much more abundant in those days than they are at present, as we read that all King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. It is also stated that he received 666 talents of gold in one year nearly equal to twenty-seven tons in weight. We cannot but marvel as to what has been done with all this wealth.
