Abstract
THIS is an unpretentious little book written by a practising enameller. It describes in plain language the simplest methods of enamelling on metals, and has the merit of avoiding all air of mystery pertaining to the craft. The writing has no claims to literary finish, and the Americanisms scattered up and down the pages will come upon an English reader with something of a shock. But the writer's gift for expressing his meaning plainly, and his practical hints as to helps and hindrances in the work, obviously the result of direct personal experience, will earn the gratitude of the reader who goes to him for instruction.
How to Enamel: being a Treatise on the Practical Enamelling of Jewellery with Hard Enamels.
By H. M. Chapin. Pp. xii + 70. (New York: J. Wiley and Sons; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1911.) Price 4s. 6d. net.
