Note

Sinkankas 2239: "A famous work, reporting and illustrating Frémy's celebrated synthesis of the ruby although the latter were uniformly small in size. He gives details of the apparatus used, raw materials, procedures, and other problems associated with the synthesis. (...) Several of the color plates, of remarkable quaintness and charm, show pieces of jewelry set with such stones." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLIV.
