The first of a series designed to furnish in condensed form reliable information based on the latest discoveries relating to various industrial arts. In this first volume “descriptions are given of the maiolica of Italy, Spain, and Mexico; the delft wares of Holland and England, and the stanniferous faience of France, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden. The pottery of the United States also comes in for brief consideration. A list is added of marks on pottery that are most familiar. Preceding the index is a table giving the principal features of tin enameled pottery in the different countries named in the volume.” (N. Y. Times.)
