c must preface with the stateu icnt,
imiliar doubtless to many of our
saders, thatt.U? increase in value of
io diamond is vastly greater in pre-,
ortion than its increase in weight.
c stone weighing one carat, for inance,
might be worth fifty dollars;
ut one weighing five carats would
e worth two thousand. Imagine,
