300 Illustrations.
Cloth, 9s. net.

antique and modern ornaments; with gold, silver, steel and
pinchbeck; with the precious stones, the commoner stones and
imitation.”
_Outlook._
“‘Chats on Old Jewellery and Trinkets’ is a book which will enable
every woman to turn over her jewel-case with a fresh interest and
a new intelligence; a practical guide for the humble but anxious
collector.... A good glossary of technicalities and many excellent
illustrations complete a valuable contribution to collector’s lore.”

full-page illustrations in half-tone embellish a letterpress which
is replete with wise description and valuable hints.”

“Mr. Hayden’s book is a guide to all sorts of desirable and simple
furniture, from Stuart to Georgian, and it is a delight to read as

and reasonable.”

the reader to grasp the essentials of the author’s descriptions.”
_Outlook._
