PREFACE
I hope the reader may find that this book, thoughsmaller than others on the same subject, is morehelpful and even more comprehensive than theyare; that it deals with the glass articles which theymention and with others which they omit; that itsimplifies and classifies the study and practice of glass-collectingmore than has been done in print heretofore;and that it can do these things because it is writtenout of personal knowledge, gained from much experience,and not from hearsay or from other books.
Diffuseness has been avoided, but this, I hope, hasenabled me to make the book the more lucid, as well asthe more succinct. At any rate, it affords hints,general rules, and warnings more numerous andmore practical than any published until now; I havealso tried to give to it a quality which reviewers havefound present in my other books on Collecting—
