=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.
“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.
“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.
“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._
“There is no doubt that Mr. Melville’s book fills a void. There is
nothing exactly like it. Agreeably written in a popular style and
adequately illustrated, it is certainly one of the best guides to
philatelic knowledge that have yet been published.”
_World._
