Excerpt from The Chemistry of Pottery It is hoped that this little treatise will supply informa tion that will turn future labors in this channel to good account. The writer is well aware that in confining the subject matter to the results of his personal experience the shortcomings of the treatise are numerous and manifest, but he believes that as such it is a more direct expres sion of the practical needs of the working potter, and therefore of more immediate value, than a compilation of the published work of European chemists on their ceramic industries. In a treatise of this kind, only the essentials, pottery bodies and glazes, could be considered. The colors and Operations of decorating, though interesting Objects of chemical study, would have led too far from the main purpose of the book.
