Excerpt from Gold and Silver Smiths Work
The estimate set on gold as the representative of wealth can be traced through every record of history. Except in countries peopled merely by wandering families roaming over plains and pastures, and counting their riches only in the numbers of their flocks and their herds, all possessions have been exchanged for the two precious metals, gold and silver.
