The Amateur Pottery and Glass-Painter. By E. Campbell Hancock. (Chapman

and Hall, London ; Hancock and Son, Worcester.)—Several works have lately been published on china-painting, but we have not seen any that will be as useful to the amateur painter as the above book. By its aid amateurs will at once learn what implements and materials are required, and will also find full instructions for both china and glass-painting. There is a capital list of the principal enamel colours that will be required, with a very good description of the properties of each colour. The chapter on glass-painting is also very explicit, and deals with the subject fully. Altogether, we can strongly recommend this book to the notice of amateurs.
