Excerpt from The Power of Gems and Charms Every one who has the least romance in his soul is interested in charms, though few of the present age have ever troubled themselves to inquire into their origin and history. To openly declare one's belief in such things, whether it be in any ordinary charm, in a gem or jewel, is to lay oneself open to ridicule, if nothing worse. Why is this? The answer must be because of the inability to distinguish between superstition and romance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
