Abstract
THE Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge, is indebted to the industry of Mr. Watson for its useful exhibit of polished marbles, This volume, which is supplementary to the one by the same author on “Building Stones,” is essentially a descriptive guide to the marbles and other ornamental stones in the collection, about eight hundred in number. The specimens have been assembled from many parts of the world, and a number of well-known varieties are represented, as well as some that will be less familiar.
