These processes are unhappily lost, with many secrets of a civilization which was the mother of our own, a noble inheritance of the greater part of which barbarous ages have robbed us. It must with humility be confessed, that we see at present rising as if by enchantment, from the forgotten cemeteries of Etruria and of Greece, objects in gold, of a workmanship so perfect, that not...
