Excerpt from The Manual of Practical Potting The proprietors of the Pottery Gazette, in presenting the Manual of Practical Potting to the trade, desire to say that no pains have been spared to make the work of unique value to those engaged in the business, their sole aim being to render it so complete in every particular that it might become to be universally regarded as the chief text-book for reference wherever the manufacture of ceramics is followed. The information contained in the manual cannot fail to be of interest to every manufacturer desirous of perfecting his productions to the highest excellence. The various formulae now published for the first time are the outcome of years of study and repeated experiment on the part of several members of the trade, whose individual experience has been of an exceptionally practical nature. The classification of the information given into a chain of connection has rendered them easy of instant comprehension by the intelligent operator.
