Excerpt from More Golden Than Gold: A Popular Illustrated Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society, 1911-1912Among the many stages in human development few can have been of greater moment for man's advance than his discovery of metals and of the means of working them. When we gaze back into the grey morning of the world before history began, we dis tinguish roughly three periods - the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. And those names point to the vast importance of the progressive steps from the ¿int knife to the bronze celt, and thence to the keen-edged iron sword and ploughshare. Iron must have been the most precious of metals to the primeval folk who first found how to smelt it and forge it, and so Tubal-cain, the earliest smith, became the father of smiths innumerable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
