PUTNAMS SONS LONDON: METHUEN AND CO. 1907 ^ 2C%i^O **W^ PREFACE IT is now nearly thirty years since the late wrote the introduction to the catalogueof the glass at South Kensington. Some yearspreviously the description of the glass in the Sladecollection had been intrusted to the same that time many works treating of special depart-ments of the history of glass have been published inFrance, in Germany, and in Italy. Much fresh light hasbeen thrown upon the primitive glass of the Egyptians;our knowledge of the glass of both the Near and the FarEast has been revolutionised; abundant fresh materialhas been provided for the history of Byzantine glass, andthe wanderings of the glass-workers from LAltare andMurano have been traced in full detail. Mr. Hartshorne,in his Old English Glasses, has exhaustively told thestory of our native glass from the documentary side, andhas described with the minutest detail the wine-glasses ofthe eighteenth century.
