21 Press Opinions.
"... There is an excellent historical sketch of the origin and progress of the art of pottery ^•wfaicb sboMTs the intimate knowledge of classical as well as (the then) modern scientific litera- ture possessed by the late Dr. Shaw." — Glasgow Herald.
** The historical sketch of the origin and progress of pottery is very interesting and instruc- tive. The science of mixing is a problem of great importance, and the query how the natural products, alumina and silica can be compounded to form the best wares may be solved by the aid of chemistry instead of by guesses, as was formerly the case. This portion oft the book may be' most suggestive to the manuhicturer, as also the chapters devoted to the subject of glazes, glasses and colours." — Birmingham Post.
** Messrs. Scott, Greenwood & Co. are doing their best to place before the pottery trades
some really good books, and their spirited enterprise is worthy of encouragement, for the
utility of technical literature bearing upon the i ractical side of potting goes without saying.
-. . . They are to be congratulated on their enterprise in republishing it." — Staffordshire

Press Opinions.
" The book is one that is of value to every one connected with the colouring of paper." — Paper Trade Jourtuil.
"The great feature of the volume is undoubtedly the series of actual patterns of dyed
papers, 157 in all — twelve of which, made in England, have been added to the original German
series. Detailed formulae are given for the preparation of the pulp for each, and the tints of
the samples practically form a key, by means of which the accuracy of the student's or
i-practitioner's experiments can be tested. . . ." — World's Paper Trade Review.
