literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again

superstitions, symbolism, mysticism, use in medicine, protection,
prevention, religion, and divination, crystal gazing, birthstones,
lucky stones and talismans, astral, zodiacal, and planetary. With
86 illustrations. Includes comments on the therapeutic use of
precious and semiprecious stones.
1915. Jewels, gems, stones, superstitions and astrological lore are
all so interwoven in history that to treat of either of them alone
would mean to break the chain of association linking them one with
the other. Contents: magic stones and electric gems; on meteorites
or celestial stones; stones of healing; on the virtues of fabulous
stones, concretions and fossils; snake stones and bezoars; angels
and ministers of grace; on the religious use of various stones;

and of modern times; facts and fancies about precious stones.
