The Late Gabrielle Pond signed my copy of her book, and gave me an insert
for it, which states:-
"Extract from the "Tablet of Memory. London 1787 p66.
LACE. - more valuable than gold - one ounce of fine Flanders thread has
been sold in London for £1. Such an ounce made into Lace may be here sold
for £40, which is ten times the price of standard gold, weight for weight."
We all know it is more valuable!!!, but it is nice to know that it was
noticed so many, many years ago!!!
