SHEER MANURE 
English Engraved and Inscribed Glasses 
(Continued from, page 56) 
reader will see three exceedingly fine 
examples of Williamite glasses, the 
third of which has a tear stem. Au¬ 
thorities are not agreed as to which 
were first put forth, Williamite or 
Jacobite glasses, but I incline to think 
precedence in chronological order 
should be given to the engraved and 
inscribed Williamite ones. There 
were, of course, fewer Williamite 
glasses than Jacobite glasses, just as 
later there were fewer Hanoverian 
glasses, as these parties were in the 
ascendant, and public loyalty consid¬ 
ered itself beyond the necessity of 
symbolizing its fealty in other than 
the simple toast. 
The second illustration pictures a 
late Hanoverian engraved and in¬ 
scribed glass, one made to com¬ 
memorate the coronation of George 
IV. Finally we come to the three 
glasses shown in the fourth illustra¬ 
tion. The center one is an especially 
rare Arms rummer, engraved and in¬ 
scribed, probably Jacobite. The 
glasses at each side of it are rummers 
engraved with Nelson subjects, com¬ 
memorating England’s naval hero. 
These, of course, are early 19th Cen¬ 
tury, as Nelson lived till 1805. 
Answers to Inquiries 
A. H. L.—In reply to your inquiry 
regarding the embroidered infant’s 
robe, we would say that as a museum 
piece it should have some historical 
connection as well as unusual work¬ 
manship. Babies’ robes of early date 
and fine workmanship are not un¬ 
common. 
L. C. — Simon Willard, of a dis¬ 
tinguished family of Massachusetts 
clock-makers, was the foremost 
American clock-maker in the late 
18th and early 19th Century. While 
he made all kinds of clocks, such as 
steeple, church, hall and long-case 
clocks, his name is generally asso¬ 
ciated with designs for clock cases, 
patented by him in 1802. These orig¬ 
inal Willard “banjo-clocks” are much 
in demand to-day. Willard died in 
Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1848. 
L. L. P. — The Hawaiian 1851 
stamps (Missionaries), 2 and 5 cents 
and two varieties of 13-cent stamps 
are rare, also the Hawaiian 5-cent 
1853 and 1859-65 series, but as these 
have been counterfeited it would be 
necessary for us to see the stamps be¬ 
fore determining their value. 
E. V. V. — “The Works of William 
Hogarth,” published in London by 
Jones & Company, 1833, and consist¬ 
ing of 109 engravings with comments 
and anecdotes, is complete in two 
volumes. As it is often met with, $3 
would be a fair price for the two 
volumes at public sale. The painting 
you describe of that period and size 
and a copy of a Correggio would pos¬ 
sibly be worth about $200 in an old 
frame and in good condition. 
M. E. T. — The books that you in¬ 
clude in your list are not uncommon 
nor of great value, and would proba¬ 
bly bring the following prices at pub¬ 
lic sale: “The Works of that Fa¬ 
mous Chirurgeon, Ambrose Parey, 
1678,” $3; “The Gardener’s Diction¬ 
ary, by Phillip Miller, F. R. S., Etc,” 
London, 1759, $1; “A Brief and Plan 
of the Whole Book of the Revelation, 
Etc.,” London, 1696, $1; “The Econ¬ 
omy of Human Life,” translated 
from an Indian manuscript, Philadel¬ 
phia, 1787, $1; “Every Man His Own 
Lawyer,” New York, 1748, $2; “Pas¬ 
torals, Epistles, Odes and Other Orig¬ 
inal Poems,” London, 1745, $1; “The 
Spectator,” 8 volumes, London, 1747, 
$2; “The New and Complete Book 
of Martyrs,” by Rev. Mr. John Fox, 
2 volumes, New York, 1794, $1. 
A. J. V. S.—In regard to your 
colored prints, “Faith and Hope,” we 
would explain that prints of senti¬ 
mental subjects have not the value 
of figure or historical subjects, and 
in this instance would be worth about 
$1 each. A higher valuation might 
be influenced by the state of the print.
