"Shagreen" is a word in ENGLISH
A kind of untanned leather prepared in Russia and the
East, from the skins of horses, asses, and camels, and grained so as to
be covered with small round granulations. This characteristic surface
is produced by pressing small seeds into the grain or hair side when
moist, and afterward, when dry, scraping off the roughness left between
them, and then, by soaking, causing the portions of the skin which had
been compressed or indented by the seeds to swell up into relief. It is
used for covering small cases and boxes.
Alt. of Shagreened
The skin of various small sharks and other fishes when
having small, rough, bony scales. The dogfishes of the genus Scyllium
furnish a large part of that used in the arts.
To chagrin.
Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth.
