Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Chap. III. (continued) -- modern rings. Allusion has already been made to the custom of using rings as receptacles for relics or poisons. The most famed belonged to Caesar Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI., both adepts in poisoning; a grasp from the hand wearing this ring ensured a very slow, but certain, death ; it contained a virulent poison, which found vent through a small spike, pressed out by a spring when the hand was grasped..." Written on border: "June 1865" Includes additional text.
Source note: Art journal. Virtue Co., 1839-1912).
