Brief accounts, extracted from the larger volume, of the various manufactories are also given, with a view to help in establishing the period to which any specimen may belong. It is hoped that this little work may prove to be of assistance to the Collector in identifying those specimens of Keramics bearing no marks, which may, from time to time, be brought under his notice.
