PREFACE. The subjects of clays, kaolins, and the ceramic arts branch out in so many directions that the question often arises as to how much can properly be included in or excluded from their bibliography. Industries based upon clays range all the way from the manufacture of the commonest bricks, through drain-tiles, paving bricks, firebricks, furnace linings, retorts, crucibles, sewer pipes, sanitary ware, and all kinds of earthenware, terra-cotta, and chinaware, up to the finest of porcelains and enamels. One can therefore look at these matters from the point of view of the farmer, the architect, the civil or the sanitary engineer, the metallurgist, the artist, the chemist, the geologist, the anthropologist, or the archæologist. The question as to where to stop is thus constantly presenting itself. Under such circumstances it is impossible to meet very precisely one's own or anybody else's expectations. In preparing the present bibliography it has been my endeavor to give titles relating to all these phases of the subject except the prehistoric; and while there are many of that class also, a great deal relating to ancient Grecian, Etruscan, and archaic matter has been purposely omitted. Those in need of information on this branch of ceramics would do well to consult the bibliography published by the South Kensington Museum in 1885 (pp. 73-94), the Archäologische Zeitung, Archæologia, the (British) Archæological Journal, and other archæological publications. It will occur to anyone acquainted with the technologic work done on clays of late years that many of the most important papers on this phase of ceramics, such as Senger's, are not mentioned here. The reason is that Senger's papers and many others of a similar kind are published only in the periodicals on clays, and if one attempted to list all the articles on clays published in those journals he would have to give a complete index of each of them throughout, and that, of course, is quite out of the question. A large number of brief abstracts of articles from the clay journals are published in the Berg- und Hüttenmännische Zeitung. These I have not attempted to give. Résumés of importance are also given under the head of "Fortschritte in der Thonindustrie," and of "Neuerungen in der Thonwaarenindustrie," in Dingler's Polytechnisches Journal, and in Wagner's Jahres-Bericht der chemischen Technologie. Papers regarding patents relating to the technology of the ceramic arts are not given; the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry (London) gives abstracts of such patents. Some titles are given on aluminum, but the metallurgy of this subject is not presented with anything like thoroughness. In many cases several editions of a book have been published. Wherever it has been convenient the various editions are mentioned, but no attempt has been made to make the data regarding these editions complete. A great many analyses of clays, clay-shales, and related materials are scattered through the Jahrbücher der k. k. geologischen Reichsanstalt. The most important of these are mentioned in the bibliography, but some of them have been intentionally omitted, while some of them may have been unintentionally overlooked. Current technical literature of importance is given in the Repertorium der technischen Journal-Literatur, now published at Berlin. In a scientific study of clays the artificial boundaries between the finer and coarser uses of clays can not be maintained. We are not concerned with the sensibilities of those who may be shocked to find titles on the purely decorative features of the ceramics in juxtaposition with the common uses of clays to make paving bricks or furnace linings. No systematic arrangement of the titles by subjects is attempted. Such an arrangement would enormously increase the size of the book, for a large percentage of the titles would have to be repeated many times. Doubtless many titles are omitted that might well have been included, and some included that might have been omitted. Indeed, it has been asked already why such a book as Le violon de Faïence, by Champfleury, is seriously put down as a work on ceramics. It must be admitted that Le violon de Faïence has not a word in it about clays or kaolin, their geology, chemistry, or technology, but I am sure that every ceramic artist will agree with me that it would be unpardonable to omit it. I shall be thankful for any corrections or additions to the list here given, and shall take pleasure in using them in future editions. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA, J. C. B. January 1, 1896.
