Transcriber’s Note

Obvious punctuation and spelling errors corrected.
Original variations in spelling retained, e.g. cup plates/cup-plates, candle sticks/candlesticks, slip ware/slipware.
The Collector’s Data section that begins on page 97 in the original ran for four full pages, presumably to give the readers space to make their own notes. The amount of blank space has been reduced here, and the repeating headers consolidated to a single one.
There is a “2” at the top of page 65 in the original which has been retained, though it may be a misprint. Similar numbers may be found on the Plates and it’s possible this 2 belongs on Plate XVII on page 68.
Another copy of the original text in the Princeton Library includes a typewritten correction on page 13. The author and date of the correction is unclear, but reads ‘Page 12, paragraph 3. The words “SOFT TIN” is a misprint and should be “IRON.”’
The numbers and letters around the side of the illustrations correspond to numbered items in the text. Numbers in the text link to the illustration including that item. Illustrations of collector items link to larger versions when clicked on.
