=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._
