Excerpt from Chelsea and Chelsea-Derby China As with so many other of the books of this series on old porcelains, I am greatly indebted to writers who have been before me in the consideration of the subject. The best modern books which deal, inter alia, with old Chelsea chinaware are, it seems to me, the catalogues by Lady Charlotte and Mr. Charles Schreiber, Professor Church, and Mr. R. L. Hobson; the latter author's work, "Porcelain of all Countries"; the volumes on ceramics by Mr. Moore Binns, Mr. Burton, Mr. Solon; and Mr. Bemrose's book, "Bow, Chelsea and Derby Porcelain." There are, of course, many other and earlier authoritative books, but the research they contain has become common knowledge with the passage of time, and in some cases modern scientific inquiry has altered their conclusions.
