Note O — PART II.
Reading edition
The shingle at Brighton and Bognor in Sussex, and in various localities in the Isle of Wight, abounds in specimens more or less perfect. I would inform my fair readers who may visit these places, and be inclined to purchase a brooch, in illustration of these "Thoughts on a Pebble," that by far the greater number of the so-called Brighton and Isle of Wight moss-agates, jaspers, &c., sold by the lapidaries and jewellers, are of German or Scotch origin; and that the false-emeralds, and aquamarines, are water-worn fragments of common green glass bottles!
