Enamelling. By Lewis F. Day. (B. T. Batsford. 7s. 6d.

net.)-In this volume enamelling is dealt with from its historic rather than

from its technical point of view. Mr. Day treats the beginnings of the art in early times as the result of the goldsmith calling in the glassmaker to help bins. The different varieties of Champion, Cloisonne, Limoges, and other enamels are all clearly described in separate chapters of the book.
