CHAPTER XIV.
The following list, now for the first time printed, will be found to contain all the specifications, relating in any way to pottery, enrolled from the year 1626 down to 1877. The first portion of the list, down to 1862, I have compiled from the “Abridgments of the Specifications,” prepared by Mr. B. Woodcroft; and for the latter portion I am indebted to Mr. William Spence, As. Inst. C.E., the well-known Patent agent, by whom it has been specially prepared for me, and to whom I tender my acknowledgments.
