Byways of Collecting. By Ethel Deane. (Cassell and Co. 7s.

6d. net.)—Miss Deane divides her hints to the collector into four sections,—viz., "Old China" (subdivided by places of origin colour, famous mqkers, &e.) ; "Print Collecting" (eb.rly line, slipper engravings, mezzotints, &c.) ; "Old Furniture" ; "Old Silver." The hints will be found very valuable, whether they concern what one should choose or what one should avoid.
