Arles Etruria Renascuntur. Told by Harry Barnard. Drawn by James
Hodgkiss. (Etruria: Josiah Wedgwood and Sons.)— This attractive pamphlet will interest students of the history of English pottery. It is a description of the older portion of the works laid out by Wedgwood in 1769 and still in active use, with many careful drawings of the buildings and appliances. Mr. Barnard might perhaps have warned his readers that, though Wedgwood and his generation regarded the ancient Etruria as the home of a great ceramic industry, they were mistaken. The fine figured vases found in Etruscan tombs were exported from Greece, and mainly from Athens.
