Companion volume to "Chats on Cottage and Farmhouse Furniture"

"Mr. Hayden knows his subject intimately."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"The hints to collectors are the best and clearest we have seen; so
that altogether this is a model book of its kind."--_Athenæum._

"An abundance of illustrations completes a well-written and
well-constructed history."--_Daily News._

merit."--_Vanity Fair._
"Mr. Hayden has worked at his subject on systematic lines, and has

collector."--_Saturday Review._
CHATS ON ENGLISH CHINA
_Press Notices, First Edition_
"A handsome handbook that the amateur in doubt will find useful,
and the china-lover will enjoy for its illustrations, and for the
author's obvious love and understanding of his subject."--_St.
James's Gazette._
"All lovers of china will find much entertainment in this
volume."--_Daily News._
"It gives in a few pithy chapters just what the beginner wants to
know about the principal varieties of English ware. We can warmly
commend the book to the china collector."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"One of the best points about the book is the clear way in which the
characteristics of each factory are noted down separately, so that
the veriest tyro ought to be able to judge for himself if he has a
piece or pieces which would come under this heading, and the marks
are very accurately given."--_Queen._
CHATS ON ENGLISH EARTHENWARE
(Companion volume to "Chats on English China")
"Complementary to the useful companion volume, in this 'Chats'
Series, on English China which Mr. Hayden issued five years
ago."--_Times._
"Is a compendious account of our native English faïence, abundantly
illustrated and accurately written."--_Guardian._
"A thoroughly trustworthy working handbook."--_Truth._
"It is a mine of knowledge, gathered from all quarters, and the
outcome of personal experience and research, and it is written with
no little charm of style."--_Lady's Pictorial._
"Mr. Hayden knows and writes exactly what is needed to help the
amateur to become an intelligent collector, while his painstaking
care in verifying facts renders his work a stable book of
reference."--_Connoisseur._
"The volume has been written as a companion to Mr. Hayden's 'Chats
on English China' in the same series, and those who recall the
admirable character of that book will find this to be in no way
inferior."--_Nation._
