Note 8 — PART I.
Reading edition
Dr. Klein describes a kind of “lifter,” made by bending some German-silver wire, but as no drawing accompanies his description, it is not easy to form a clear idea as to the form of this instrument. In the recent and philosophical work of Schäfer, a lifter is figured, which consists of a wire stem, having attached to its end a spade-like blade. It will be observed that the spoon described in the text differs from this lifter in having one end perforated, and in this consists the real value of the implement.
