Download or read book Chats on English China Classic Reprint written by Arthur Hayden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chats on English China This little volume has been primarily written with a view to enable the possessors of old china to determine the factories at which their ware was produced. A modest attempt has been made to show that the china-shelf is a record of men's triumphs and failures, and the fantastic shepherds and shepherdesses, lustrous bowls, queer printed dishes, and bizarre decorated jugs, may be regarded by a reflective mind as so many symbols representing something less perishable than the clay of the potter. These Chats originally appeared in the pages of Our Home. In collecting them in volume form I trust that they will appeal to a wider circle of readers. Never was a greater interest taken in Art, and the growth of popular literature has developed a taste for objects of art in the home. The china-shelf is now regarded as worthy of keen and discriminating study. Its treasures, often heirlooms, have been brought into the light of day, and amateur collectors can now be numbered by thousands. I am enabled to include a useful feature in the list of prices obtained at recent sales, by kind permission of the proprietors of the Connoisseur, whose Sale Prices, published monthly, is most valuable to the collector. It is hoped that the Bibliography of works on china and pottery may be of use to those who wish to study the subject more deeply, and a copious Index will prove useful for ready reference. The Chats relating to Lustre Ware, Old English Mugs, and Wedgwood are not upon English china, but deal with earthenware; they are included in the volume in order to increase its scope and usefulness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of China Now we must talk of China as it is to-day. The country in which Chinese children live is a land of hills and plains, covered with cities, villages and temples. You can imagine how big it is when you remember that Szechuan, which is but one of its eighteen pro vinces, is larger than Great Britain and Ireland. How China grew into a great empire is one of the most wonderful stories of the world. Its people are said to have come from the west, across the middle of Asia, settling at length in what is now the province of Shansi, just where the Yellow River bends Sharply eastwards. Small at first and surrounded by savages, the baby kingdom soon began to grow. Like the tiny tent of the, Ambian Nights' Entertainments, which unfolded until an army could rest beneath the roof, China spread until, a thousand years before the time Of Our Lord, its borders on the north and west were pretty much what they are to-day, and it had crept south wards many miles beyond the Yellow River. The nation went on growing, drawing other tribes and peoples into itself, until, not long after King Alfred's time, the mother kingdom, without counting its subject countries, was fifteen times as large as Great Britain.
