Should prove of great service to all who are either engaged in or
interested in the art of enamelling."--_Jewellers and Watchmakers'
Trade Advertiser._
"I must inform you that this is the best book ever I have come
across on enamels, and it is worth double its cost."--J. MINCHIN,
Jr., Porto, Portugal, _22nd July, 1900_.
"This is a very useful and thoroughly practical treatise, and deals
with every branch of the enameller's art. The manufacture of
enamels of various colours and the methods of their application are
described in detail. Besides the commoner enamelling processes,
some of the more important special branches of the business, such
as cloisonne work are dealt with. The work is well got up, and the
illustrations of apparatus are well executed. The translator is
evidently a man well acquainted both with the German language and
the subject-matter of the book."--_Invention._
"This is a most welcome volume, and one for which we have long
waited in this country. For years we have been teaching design
applied to enamelling as well as to several other crafts, but we
have not risen to the scientific side of the question. Here is a
handbook dealing with the composition and making of enamels for
application to metals for the most part, but also for other allied
purposes. It is written in a thoroughly practical way [Transcribers
Note: Text source unreadable], and its author--Paul Randau--has made
its subject a very particular study. The [Transcribers Note: Text
source unreadable] almost all things which come from the German
chemical expert, is a model of good workmanship [Transcribers Note:
Text source unreadable] and arrangement, and no one who is in search
of a handbook to enamelling, [Transcribers Note: Text source
unreadable] whether he is a craftsman producing his beautiful
translucent colours on gold, silver and copper, or the hollow-ware
manufacturer making enamelled saucepans and kettles, can wish for a
more useful practical manual."--_Birmingham Gazette._
