ABSTRACT

If any Person should have the Assurance to exhibit a Set of Bristol Stones to the Public as real Diamonds;2 or if another should call himself a China-Man, and deliver to his Customers some of the vilest Earthen-Ware, as the real Production of China or Dresden, the Consequence in both Cases is certain. The Imposition would be too gross to deceive a single Individual, and the Undertakers would immediately become the Objects of universal Ridicule and Contempt.
