f America there are large establishments for the
manufacture of earthenware, bone china and tiles, all after the English
fashion, while in addition there are a number of experimental kilns at
work producing artistic pottery. The Rookwood factory has already been
mentioned, but the wares produced at the Grueby factory and by Mrs
Robineau and T. Brouwer are also worthy of note. (See "Report on
American Art Pottery," pp. 922-935 of _Special Reports of the U.S.
Census Office, Manufactures_, pt. iii., 1905.)

FOOTNOTES:

[1] The archaeologist is frequently puzzled as to the place of origin
of some example of ancient pottery--was it made in the district where
it was found, or had it been imported from some other centre? When we
possess a sufficient body of analytical data obtained by the use of
one general chemical method, an analysis of a fragment will
frequently enable such a question to be answered, where now all is
doubt and speculation. But the analytical results published hitherto
are often not worth the paper they are printed on for such a purpose,
the older methods of silicate analysis being only approximate.

[2] It must always be borne in mind that, side by side with the
production of artistic wares in all countries, the traditional craft
of the village pot-maker continued, and has probably been less
interfered with than is generally imagined, except in the British
Isles. Any country market-place in Spain, Italy, Greece, France,
Germany, or Holland is provided to-day with a simple peasant pottery
little removed in its forms, its decorations, or
