It has been our aim to supply such a volume in acondensed and practical form. The only marks given in thisbook are those which are beyond dispute. The arrangementis geographical, the different species of ware being separatelytreated wherever practicable ; but, by elaborate indices, readyreference has been provided to each mark, as well as to eachfactory. In addition, a condensed account of the importantproductions of every country prefaces each section of thework. The aim, throughout, has been to render the work ascomplete and self-contained as such a pocket manual can be ;though, in his study, the collector will naturally turn for fullerinformation to the important histories or monographs, suchas those mentioned in the bibliography.
