"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._
