“Unfortunately the scope of the work is too narrow to give it more than a very limited value to the student of citizenship. As a purely ‘legislative history,’ however, there is little to criticize,—except that, it should be brought down to date so as to cover recent legislation.”

In this late addition to the “Newnes’ library of applied arts,” “The wonderful variety of French ceramics, from the private factory of Hélè de Hengest at Château d’Orion, in the time of Francis I down to the marvels turned out by the Sevres ovens and their extraordinary artistic and useful achievements in crockery in this book molded into a coherent chronicle of events, full of romance and story.... Not a town or a hamlet which produced a marvel of Faience escapes notice. The wonderful Faience violin, a masterpiece of Rouen as well as the polychrome bas-reliefs of Monstiers receive proportional attention in text and illustrations.”—N. Y. Times.
