The word " cottage " has been grossly misused, especially in the 

 titles of books where it is often employed to describe country 

 houses which cost thousands. Save for a few gate lodges the 

 buildings illustrated in this volume are truly cottages and none of a 

 greater cost than £600 is included. Full consideration has been 

 given to cottages of all types — for the rural labourer, the estate 

 servant, the smaUholder, the clerk who li\'es outside the town, the 

 " week-ender," and those of hmited means who want a permanent 

 home of refined character in the country at the smallest possible 

 cost. The book is indispensable to all estate owners, to every one 

 who contemplates building a cottage of any sort, and to all who are 

 interested in Housing questions. 



.J BOOK FOR ALL LOVERS OF THE PEWTERER'S ART. 



Causeries on English Pewter 



By ANTONIO DE NAVARRO 



THIS WORK TREATS OF OLD PEWTER, PEWTER 

 CHURCH PLATE, THE EVOLUTION OF THE TANKARD, 

 THE TRENCHER AND ITS USES, CHURCH FLAGONS, 

 CHALICES, PATENS, FORKS, SALTS, SPOONS AND THE 

 CUSTODY OF PEWTER 



Round the solid kernel of his knowledge the author has woven a 

 dainty gossamer of poetry and writes with a crisp and happy 

 humour that is the more attractive because it is unusual in con- 

 nection with the subject of Pewter. 



" Apart from the charm and value of the essays, there is a splendid 

 collection of illustrations, giving rare and typical examples of all forms of 

 domestic and ecclesiastical pewter. The work is put forward with the usual 

 distinction and care of the Country Life Library." — Manchester Courier.
