THE COLLECTOR.

Collectors and amateurs who want a good, comprehensive reference book on Old English Pottery will appreciate this volume. Its range, however, is too wide and consequently too general for it to satisfy the demands of the collector who has specialized in particular ware. Artistically unpretending though they be, the abundant illustrations will serve very adequately as a diagrammatic guide to the originals in the various public and private collections. Had they been numbered and referred to numerically in the text, less con- fusion would be experienced in the correct association of illustration with description.
