TO THOSE WHO HAVE ASSISTED ME BY FORWARDING MATERIAL FOR THIS WORK MARKS, BLOCKS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND INFORMATION MY GRATITUDE IS DUE, AND MY HEARTIEST THANKS ARE HEREBY TENDERED TO THEM. WITHOUT THEIR HELP IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE TO PRODUCE THE BOOK, WHICH IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THEIR CO-OPERATION, AS IT IS NOT WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN HAD OTHERS RE- SPONDED IN LIKE MANNER. HOWEVER, OMISSIONS AND FAULTS SUCH AS EXIST ARE REMEDIABLE ; HENCE I HAVE NO HESI- TATION IN INVITING ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MANUFACTURERS AND OTHERS WITH A VIEW TO A NEW EDITION WHEN THIS IS EXHAUSTED. IN THE SEVERAL CHAPTERS, DUE ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS MADE OF THE SERVICES OF INDIVIDUAL HELPERS WHO HAVE SUPPLIED MATTER OR ILLUSTRATIONS. OTHERS DESIRE TO REMAIN INCOGNITO, WHOSE WISHES MUST BE RESPECTED IF REGRETTED. LASTLY, ESPECIAL THANKS MUST BE GIVEN TO MR. HARRY GREEN, WHO MOST KINDLY READ THE PROOFS, AND RETURNED THEM WITH REMARKS PLEASING TO AN AUTHOR, AND ONE WHICH MAY BE PASSED ON TO MY READERS : " THE LISTS OF POTTERS WILL BE DRY READING ; MOST PEOPLE WILL SKIP THEM." DO, AN IF YOU WILL. AS A RECORD THEY REMAIN, AND TO MANY WHOSE NAMES APPEAR IN THEM THE INVITATION SET OUT ABOVE IS EXTENDED. J. F. BLACKER.
