GLASGOW HERALD.—“The illustrations are extremely good, delicate, and yet exquisitely clear, and amply deserve the editors’ praise.”
THE SCOTSMAN.—“The Collection was peculiarly rich in old College plate, and many of these founders’ cups and other articles are, apart from the interest attaching to their age and history, noble specimens of old silver work.”
THE TIMES.—“A very beautifully illustrated Catalogue of the Fitzwilliam Exhibition.... Among especially beautiful plates we may mention that of the ‘Founders’ Cup’ of Emmanuel College (34), the ewer and salver belonging to Sidney College (37), the ‘Poison Cup’ of Clare, and Archbishop Parker’s ewer and salver belonging to Corpus College.... Lord Carysfort contributed two wonderful pieces, an incense ship and a censer, among the earliest known work of an English silversmith, which, having belonged to Ramsey Abbey, were found in Whittlesea Mere in 1850.”
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—“It is a work of great beauty, and contains sixteen full-page plates, besides many illustrations in the text. The book should be prized, not by collectors alone, but by all interested in old plate, and by those who hope for more grace in modern design.”
