' It would be difficult to overestimate the value of this book to the collector. It would be but 

 scanty praise to say that this book is a noble quarto. It is that and much more. With its 

 beautiful type, ample margins and luxurious paper, its hundreds of illustrations, many of them 

 whole page lithographs of exceptional merit, it is ar exceedingly fine example of typography, 

 while its half-vellum binding is in admirable keeping with the care and taste which has been 

 lavished upon the interior." Standard. 



' An important contribution to the library of the serious antiquary and collector.' Times. 



' Mr. Hartshorne has been fortunate in finding a subject about which literally nothing was 

 known, even by wou!d-be connoisseurs, and he has risen to the height of his opportunity in a 

 wonderful way. A fortnight ago the collector of old English Glasses was working in darkness 

 . . . to-day such a collector has but to become the possessor of this sumptuous quarto and the 

 whole sequence of glass-making, not only in England but on the Continent, from primitive times 

 to the end of the last century, is before him. It is a monograph which must remain the one 

 authority on English glasses.' Daily Chronicle. 



1 No more sumptuous monograph on any artistic subject has been published this year than 

 Mr. Hartshorne's volume.' Westminster Gazette.
