CONCLUSION.
[Illustration: T]he end of our pleasant task is reached; and it only
remains to thank the gentle reader who has kindly followed us, and to
re-assert as a parting word, that this work does not aspire to cover
every point which collectors may wish to have decided. Its modest
purpose will be served if any reader is led to take an interest in the
subject, if collectors find it useful as an assistant in intelligent
collecting, or an instigation to further and more careful research.
Undoubtedly, there lie in old garrets, book-cases, and forgotten
cupboards, dust-covered books, in which some fortunate searcher will one
day discover plates as yet unknown. It is hoped that any such will
publish their success for the benefit of the steadily increasing number
who find something interesting in these memorials of the past, and who
take pleasure in their preservation and pride in their possession.
