HOW extensive is the literature that has grown up of late years round the subject of porce- lain may be fudged from the length of our • selected ' list of books dfealing with this material. Apart from the not inconsiderable number of general works on the potter's art in French, German, and English, there is scarcely to be found a kiln where pottery of one kind or another has been manufactured which has not been made the subject of a separate study. And yet, as far as I know, the very definite subdivision of ceramics, which includes the porcelain of the Far East and of Europe, has never been made the basis of an independent work in England.
