Excerpt from A History of the Precious Metals, From the Earliest Times to the Present These observations appeared to me so important that, so soon as my sfi'airs permitted, I set out for California, where I have since resided, to verify and extend them. The evi dence obtained induced me to combine with it a general history of the precious metals, begun some years before, so that the entire work might form a more or less complete collection of essential information on the subject.
