OLD GLASS The Standard Book on the Subject. A HISTORY OF ENGLISH STAINED By Maurice Drake. Fully Illustrated in Colour “One of the most beautiful, nay, most sumptuous, books produced in recent years, and from that point of view the Author and the publisher, the artist and the printer, and, indeed, also the binder, are to be heartily congratulated. But it is also an interesting book to read, although the subject is not everyone’s subject, for it is written, not merely with knowledge, which one can find anywhere on most subjects, but with knowledge touched with humanity, which is the kind of knowledge that we want in a book.”—Daily Chronicle. FIRST STEPS IN COLLECTING. By Mrs Grace Vallois, Author of “Antiques and Curios in our Homes.” 64 Illustrations. Picture Cover. 6s. net. In this book G. M. Vallois has grappled successfully with the problem of how to give the amateur a slight general knowledge of a wide subject, without deluging him with technical details. ANTIQUES AND CURIOS IN OUR HOMES. By G. M. Vallois. 61 Illustrations. 6s. net. In addition to being interesting to those who possess old furniture, etc., it should appeal to young persons making a home, as, even though they may not be able to buy Antique Furniture, it is of educational value to them, inasmuch as it teaches in a most fascinating manner the difference between Sheraton and Chippendale, between Wedgwood and Willow Pattern, etc. [Image unavailable.] A fine specimen of Early Bristol Glass, with landscape painted by Edkin.
