TENT LIFE
WITH
ENGLISH GIPSIES IN NORWAY.
ByHUBERT SMITH,
Member of the English Alpine Club; Norse Turist Forening; and Fellowof the Historical Society of Great Britain.
With Five full-page Engravings,Thirty-one smallerIllustrations,and Map of the Country,showing Routes.
The following is a recent Review of the Book:—
“We do not know any similar kind of work, and we believe that it will stand alone in the speciality of its interest.“In addition to much adventure resulting from a nomadic life in a foreign country, it contains descriptions of scenery, besides information which may instruct the philologist. A carefully prepared map shows the routes and camp grounds of the Author’s nomadic expedition.“The work, in consequence of the death of his late Majesty, Carl XV., on the 18th Sept., 1872, is dedicated by permission of his present Majesty, Oscar II., ‘In Memoriam.’“The work has clearly been undertaken at considerable cost, and the scenes of travel described extend over nearly 2,000 miles of sea and land traversed by the Author with tents, gipsies, animal commissariat, and baggage, independent of any other shelter or accommodation than what he took with him. In the course of the expedition one of the highest waterfalls of Norway was visited, ‘Morte fos,’ and the highest mountain in Norway, the ‘Galdhossiggen’ was ascended. The book is cheap at a guinea, being illustrated with five full-page engravings, all of which are taken from the Author’s original sketches, or photographs specially obtained for the purpose; they are beautiful works of Art, and are admirably executed by the celebrated Mr. Edward Whymper, Author of ‘Scrambles amongst the Alps.’”

TheCourt Journal, speaking of the productions exhibited by William Pugh, Esq., May, 1871, says—
“We do not think that any porcelain productions would equal those of the Coalport works. The show-case that the owners exhibit independently, and their manufactures, displayed by various firms, have, in all instances, the highest merit. We are well aware we shall be informed that our praise is but a stale echo, as this firm is renowned of old for producing the finest china, having some process of blending or applying chemical agencies known only to themselves, and being celebrated over Europe for the beautiful colour of the gold—a matter of course of very considerable consequence, as it is used so bounteously in the ornamentation of china.”

In an article on the “world’s great show,” as the Viennese were pleased to call it, the same Journal remarked—
“We have latterly challenged the continental world to compete with us and to contend for equality in many branches of manufacture into which art excellenceand refinement of taste enter, and we have carried off the palm. Neither Sèvres nor Dresden has of late years compared with the best English productions. There is no doubt of this; and most especially we might instance as successful rivalry the progress that the Coalport Works have made. The marked patronage of Royal circles on the Continent and at home for their productions is, perhaps, the best proof of the truth of our statement. . . . They have been especially practical in their catering for the Vienna Exhibition, and met the foreigner at his weak point rather than courted rivalry at his strongest. No nation on the Continent can compete with the French as regards the painting, though Coalport could and will challenge with every hope of success for the first place when it comes to the question of rivalry in design, exquisite form, graceful ornamentation, brilliancy of colour, bright burnish of gold, and tenderness of glaze in merely decorative porcelain works. The specimens of this character which are sent will, we are sure, worthily maintain the reputation of Coalport.”

TheStandardalso, May 23, 1873, in an article on the “Ceramic Art,” had the following:—
“Messrs. Daniell have so many good things from Coalport Works that it would be difficult to present even a brief mention of them all. There is one beautiful pair of vases in imitation Cashmere ware which Sir R. Wallace has already purchased, and the same gentleman has also secured a number of plates delightfully painted by Faugeron with exotic leaves. Two portrait vases of the Emperor and Empress of Austria are of old Sèvres shape, the bodies being of turquoise and gold, and the paintings by Palmere, almost miniatures in their fine detail. Two gros bleu vases, with raised and chased gold ornamentation and panels, choicely painted with birds by Randall, are as elegant as a pair of jardinières, with a cobalt ground and gold ferns and grasses in relief, butterflies touched up in bright enamel, toning the otherwise too great richness of the dark gold and blue. These are only a few of the attractions of one of the finest, though not largest, cases in the section. Messrs. Pellatt exhibit some Coalport ware, which is in every respect worthy of the high repute of that renowned manufactory.”
