ing glasses term which is applied 70
them throughout the sicred text-yet IL
seems clear that they were made not 81
glass, but Of metal, As were all mirrors
for many centuries subsequently,. Brass
is spoken ofas one OF the metals Of which
they were made, but it is more likely
that the best kinds were composed Of
silver or some other white metal capable
Of receiving high polish. Pliny, speak
ing Of the extravagance Of the Roman
ladies. mentions that their mirrors were
Of silver. adding. somewhat sarcasticitliy,
that often only a thin surface Of the
precious metal was used, a statement
which is borne o1t by discoveries made
during recent excavations. these ancient
mirrors were OF smsll size. and Of various
shapes Pliny isalso responsible for the
statement that mirrors were sometimes
formed out Of rubbies, and mentions
one made from an emerald, wherein Nero
used TO watch the fights in the amphi-
theater
The credit Of first making glass mirrors
can not with accuracy he given to anyone
in particular. The Sidonians are report
ed to have invented glass. bat evsn if
they attempted-as it Is said they did-to
manufacture mirrors foom it, It's inferior
quality would not have given 50 high
reflective power as some Of the better
kinds Of metals and at Whatever period
they were first made It was not until the
thirteenth century that they becIme gen
orally known, and muah later before they
entirely displaced the metal ones. At
