porcelain.”
As to prices of porcelain, etc., I have given those paid at actual sales whenever I could find them; they will be of service to buyers and collectors, as something of a guide to what they may safely pay.
Books which may be referred to, and especially such as may be found in some of our public libraries, are given at the end of the volume.
I hope the public will buy this book, and also good pottery and porcelain.
