=Press Opinions.=
"Mr. Hermann, by a careful division of his subject, avoids much repetition, yet makes sufficiently clear what is necessary to be known in each art. He gives very many formulae; and his hints on the various applications of metals and metallic lustres to glass and porcelains will be found of much interest to the amateur."--_Art Amateur_, New York.
"For the unskilled and amateurs the name of the publishers will be sufficient guarantee for the utility and excellence of Mr.
Hermann's work, even if they are already unacquainted with the author.... The whole cannot fail to be both of service and interest to glass workers and to potters generally, especially those employed upon high-class work."--_Staffordshire Sentinel._
"In _Painting on Glass and Porcelain_ the author has dealt very exhaustively with the technical as distinguished from the artistic side of his subject, the work being entirely devoted to the preparation of the colours, their application and firing. For manufacturers and students it will be a valuable work, and the recipes which appear on almost every page form a very valuable feature. The author has gained much of his experience in the celebrated Sevres manufactory, a fact which adds a good deal of authority to the work."--_Builders Journal._
"The compiler displays that painstaking research characteristic of his nation, and goes at length into the question of the chemical constitution of the pigments and fluxes to be used in glass-painting, proceeding afterwards to a description of the methods of producing coloured glass of all tints and shades....
Very careful instructions are given for the chemical and mechanical preparation of the colours used in glass-staining and porcelain-painting; indeed, to the china painter such a book as this should be of permanent value, as the author claims to have tested and verified every recipe he includes, and the volume also comprises a section devoted to enamels both opaque and translucent, and another treating of the firing of porcelain, and the accidents that occasionally supervene in the furnace."--_Daily Chronicle._

=Press Opinions.=
"There is much curious and useful information in the work, and the publishers have rendered the public a service in reissuing it."--_Burton Mail._
"Copies of the original work are now of considerable value, and the facsimile reprint now issued cannot but prove of considerable interest to all interested in the great industry."--_Derby Mercury._
"The book will be especially welcomed at a time when interest in the art of pottery manufacture commands a more widespread and general interest than at any previous time."--_Wolverhampton Chronicle._
"This work is all the more valuable because it gives one an idea of the condition of affairs existing in the north of Staffordshire before the great increase in work and population due to modern developments."--_Western Morning News._
"The History gives a graphic picture of North Staffordshire at the end of the last and the beginning of the present century, and states that in 1829 there was 'a busy and enterprising community' in the Potteries of fifty thousand persons.... We commend it to our readers as a most entertaining and instructive publication,"--_Staffordshire Sentinel._

=Press Opinions.=
"This interesting volume has been kept from the pencil of the modern editor and reprinted in its entirety by the enterprising publishers of _The Pottery Gazette_ and other trade journals.... There is an excellent historical sketch of the origin and progress of the art of pottery which shows the intimate knowledge of classical as well as (the then) modern scientific literature possessed by the late Dr. Shaw; even the etymology of many of the Staffordshire place-names is given."--_Glasgow Herald._
"The historical sketch of the origin and progress of pottery is very interesting and instructive. 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 of the book may be most suggestive to the manufacturer, 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, likely to aid the Staffordshire manufacturers, and their spirited enterprise is worthy of encouragement, for the utility of technical literature bearing upon the practical side of potting goes without saying.... They are to be congratulated on their enterprise in republishing it, and we can only hope that they will meet with the support they deserve. It seems to be a volume that is worth looking through by both manufacturers and operatives alike, and all local institutions, at any rate, should secure copies."--_Staffordshire Sentinel._
