=Chats on English Earthenware.= A companion volume to "Chats
on English China." By ARTHUR HAYDEN. With a coloured
frontispiece, 150 Illustrations and tables of over 200 illustrated
marks. Cloth,
9s. net. Fourth Impression.
"To the ever-increasing number of collectors who are taking an
interest in old English pottery... will be found one of the most
delightful, as it is a practical work on a fascinating subject."
_Hearth and Home._
"Here we have a handbook, written by a well-known authority, which
gives in the concisest possible form all the information that the
beginner in earthenware collecting is likely to need. Moreover,
it contains one or two features that are not usually found in the
multifarious 'guides' that are produced to-day." _Nation._
=Chats on Autographs.= By A. M. BROADLEY. With 130
Illustrations. Cloth, 9s. net.
"Being an expert collector, Mr. Broadley not only discourses on the
kinds of autograph he owns, but gives some excellent cautionary advice
and a valuable 'caveat emptor' chapter for the benefit of other
collectors." _Westminster Gazette._
"It is assuredly the best work of the kind yet given to the public;
and supplies the intending collector with the various sources of
information necessary to his equipment." _Manchester Guardian._
=Chats on Old Pewter.= By H. J. L. J. MASSÉ, M.A. With 52
half-tone and numerous other Illustrations. Cloth, 9s. net.
Third Impression.
"It is a remarkably thorough and well-arranged guide to the subject,
supplied with useful illustrations and with lists of pewterers and of
their marks so complete as to make it a very complete and satisfactory
book of reference." _Manchester Guardian._
"Before setting out to collect old pewter it would be as well to read
Mr. Massé's book, which is exhaustive in its information and its lists
of pewterers, analytical index, and historical and technical
chapters." _Spectator._
=Chats on Postage Stamps.= By FRED J. MELVILLE. With 57
half-tone and 17 line Illustrations. Cloth, 9s. net.
Second Impression.
"The whole book, with its numerous illustrations of excellent quality,
is a _vade mecum_ for stamp collectors, even though their efforts
may be but modest; we congratulate Mr. Melville on a remarkably good
guide, which makes fascinating reading." _Academy._
