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._ * * * * * =THE ART OF ENAMELLING ON METAL.= By W.
