With Introductory Notices of Continental Glasses during the same

By ALBERT HARTSHORNE, 



Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. 



Illustrated by nearly 70 full-page Tinted or Coloured Plates in the best 



style of Lithography, and several hundred outline Illustrations in the 



text. Super royal 4to., price Three Guineas net. 



' 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 an 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 would-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. 



' No more sumptuous monograph on any artistic subject has been published this year than Mr. 

 Hartshorne's volume.' Westminster Gazette. 



THE CHIPPENDALE PERIOD IN 

 ENGLISH FURNITURE. 



By K. WARREN CLOUSTON. 



With 200 Illustrations by the Author. 

 Demy 4to., handsomely bound. One Guinea, net. 



This handsome volume is enriched with illustrations which will be of great value to collectors, and 

 of interest to any person of taste. It fills a distinct gap in the annals of art, and that in a manner not 

 too technical for the Philistine in search of enlightenment. ' Daily Telegraph. 



' A very attractive volume.' Pall Mall Gazette. 



' In Mr. Clouston's handsome quarto, with its 200 illustrations charmingly drawn by the author and 

 admirably reproduced, we have an attractively written history of a remarkable artistic movement and 

 the man who directed. Mr. Clouston has done his work thoroughly well, and has produced a book 

 which will be of real value not only to the serious student of the history of furniture, but to every 

 reader who wishes to be well informed upon a topic at once so pleasant and so popular.' Standard.
