“In Miss Hawthorne’s work a certain respect for the purity of the poetic impulse is invariably felt. She neither trifles nor bungles with her art, but approaches it sincerely and with intelligence. Her verse, therefore, even when it is of the slightest, has a delicate, veracious property that charms.”

The author “begins with a bibliography, and follows this with a glossary.... He then proceeds to deal separately with various periods of style. The first chapter is given to the French renaissance, the second to the English, the Jacobean and Queen Anne styles, and the styles of the successive Louises, with that of the empire. Finally we have an account of the famous English makers. Each chapter has an appendix of recent sale-prices.”—Spec.
