A relative? Not redundant in that the term seems intended to characterize the jeweler, but for no particular reason the word seems more apt in describing a commentary or similar expression than 'one who objurgates'. Curiously, the works of that same Cooper mentioned was the subject of a treatment by Twain that was nothing less than objurgatory [and hilarious].

[Some objurgation is deserved for a poster that cannot spell than on the first try.]
