SynopsisExcerpt from Practical Instructions in Enamel Painting on Glass, China, Tiles, Etc: To Which Is Added Full Instructions for the Manufacture of the Vitreous Pigments Required Many works have from time to time been written upon this ancient and interesting Art, but, unfortunately, in most instances they have failed in the intention of the authors. Nor is this result to be wondered at, when we remember, that they have been produced either by amateurs, possessing but a theoretical smattering of the subject, or by compilera, who have obtained their knowledge from encyclopedias of a past date - which have in turn procured their information from, at times, very questionable authority. Certain it is, that there arc very few works upon the subject which will bear reading by the Glass Painter of the present day: and even those few are found so burdened with enunciations of opinions, and unnecessary antiquated recipes, as to be totally useless for any practical purpose. It is evident, therefore, that to place any of these works before the tyro desirous of obtaining any intimate knowledge of the profession, would have no effect, beyond that either of misleading him, or of causing him to waste time which he could more profitably employ. The object of the Publishers of this work being to popularise and extend this branch of decorative art; they have considered it advisable to obtain the assistance of one, who for many years has been professionally engaged in the execution of every description of Enamelling upon Glass, Tiles, and China, and whose information may therefore be relied on as being the result of actual experience.

At the present moment stained glass IS universally in request, and the demand for it, even in India and the Colonies, is a sure sign Of its enduring and lasting prosperity. In America, a country that, in 1812, could not throughout its whole extent manufacture any glass save the very com monest description of bottle glass, and that only in very limited quantities, there are factories innumerable, and glass painters' studios out Of number.
