Chats on Old Miniatures. By J. J. FOSTER, F.S.A. 

 With a coloured frontispiece and 116 other Illustra- 

 tions. Cloth, 6s. net. 



This book presents in a concise and popular form a variety 

 of valuable information on the collection and preservation 

 of miniatures, on the leading English and French artists, 

 and on the specimens exhibited in public galleries. 



"Mr. Foster is truly a guide, philosopher and friend. He tells us 

 not only how to judge and how to buy miniatures, but how to take 

 proper care of them. . . . The splendid photographs by which the 

 book is enriched adds in a great measure to its attractiveness and 

 utility." Aberdeen Free Press. 



Chats on Old Lace and Needlework. By MRS. LOWES. 

 With a frontispiece and 74 other Illustrations. Cloth, 

 10s. 6d. net. Third Impression. 



Written by an expert and enthusiast in these most 

 interesting branches of art. The low price at which 

 the work is issued is exceptional in dealing with 

 these subjects, and it is remarkable in view of the 

 technical knowledge displayed and the many photo- 

 graphic illustrations which practically interleave the book. 



" In commendable, clear and concise style Mrs. Lowes explains the 

 technical features distinguishing each example, making the book the 

 utmost value in identifying samples of old lace." Weldori's Ladies' Jour. 



Chats on Oriental China. By J. F. BLACKER. With 

 a coloured frontispiece and 70 other Illustrations. Cloth, 

 10s. 6d. net. Fourth Impression. 



Will be of the utmost service to collectors and to all who 

 may have old Chinese and Japanese porcelain in their 

 possession. It deals with oriental china from the various 

 standpoints of history, technique, age, marks and values, 

 and is richly illustrated with admirable reproductions. 



" A treatise that is so informing and comprehensive that it commands 

 the prompt recognisation of all who value the choice productions of 

 the oriental artists. . . . The illustrations are numerous and invalu- 

 able to the attainment of expert knowledge, and the result is a hand- 

 book that is as indispensable as it is unique." Pall Mall Gazette.
