The favourable receptipn accorded to the two first volumes of the " Home Connoisseur "' Series — Antique Furniture and Old Pottery and Porcelain — assures me that there are many who will welcome this volume, which treats upon a subject which is interesting to every home connoisseur. There is a peculiar charm about the jewellery of former generations, those things men and women have treasured and worn, or fondly handled as having had personal touch with those who died long ago.
