use as ornament, These have gradually given place
patterns Of race and utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonish old

on that point but the competition in price,
to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
