Re: The Tiffany Diamond
Thanks Malluu. Undoubtedly Balfour has a mistake in his text. Tiffany would have the precise details of their famous diamond. There are other differences between the Tiffany information and Balfour. Although it is not stated explicitly, the Tiffany text gives the impression that Tiffany sent the diamond to Paris for cutting. Balfour's text gives the opposite impression. One of the issues I have with Balfour's text in general is that he has no footnotes to show where his information was sourced, but it is not a scholarly text as such and perhaps the publishers advised him to leave out footnotes and endnotes to save on printing costs.
