Benson, of 25, Old Bond Street, and of the City team Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate Hill. It ia enriched and embellished with designs (by Italian, French, ond English artistes) of brooches, bracelets, ear-rings, and other articles, suitable for personal wear, or wedding, birthday, or other presents, with thei* prices.
