Excerpt from Practical Instructions in Enamel Painting on Glass, China, Tiles, Etc: To Which Is Added Full Instructions for the Manufacture of the Vitreous Pigments Required

When we consider the centuries that have elapsed since the birth Of the art'� and its first application and dedication to religious purposes, from a time so remote that the most primitive appliances were in requisition for its prosecution, down to the present time when thousands are constantly engaged in the various branches of its manufacture we are led to the conclusion that it is something more than a mere affected taste that has raised it to its present high position. At the present moment stained glass IS universally in request, and the demand for it, even in India and the Colonies, is a sure sign Of its enduring and lasting prosperity.

In America, a country that, in 1812, could not throughout its whole extent manufacture any glass save the very com monest description of bottle glass, and that only in very limited quantities, there are factories innumerable, and glass painters' studios out Of number.
