call it, Edited by T. Leman Hare (T. C. and E. C. Jack, 2s. 6d. net per vol.), we have the first series of six volumes, all the work of Mr. T. Egan Mew, dealing with the general subject of old china. The six are Old Bow China. Old Chinese Porcelain, Royal Sevres, Japanese Porcelain, Dresden (Meissen) Porcelain, and Chelsea and Derby-Chelsea. Each volume is fully illustrated with eight plates in colour and as many plain.
